Planting A Vegetable Garden

Posted by: The Backyard Getaway / Category: , ,

Ever since I made a visit to the Armstrong Garden Center a month ago I have been thinking about a vegetable garden of my own, especially since now is the time to plant. So I did my research and here is what I learned on how to plant your own vegetable garden.


  1. Use the sunniest spot in your yard to do the planting, after all the two things your garden will need to grow are sun and water.
  2. Clear and prepare the land that you are going to use for your garden by using a rototiller.
  3. If you are going to plant the seeds directly into the ground, take the soil and plant the seeds in an egg carton until they take root and then transplant them. The other choice is to buy seedlings at a nursery and then plant them.
  4. Orientate the rows of vegetables east to west, and make sure the tallest plants are on the north end of the garden. This will be keep the smaller plants from  being shaded but the bigger ones and not receiving enough sunlight during the day.
  5. Plants a few flowers throughout the vegetable garden, this will attract bees and help pollinate the garden. 
If you use these easy tips your garden will be sure to flourish and  enjoying your very own freshly grown vegetables in no time.
