Quote of the Day!

Life is for learning? Learning what? You name it. There’s a lot to learn.

Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardour and attended to with diligence.

Creative Vegetable Gardens

If you wish to have a garden, but don’t feel you have the room, look again. A sloped hill which is hard to mow works great when planted in the wide row method. This strategy means to plant in three foot wide rows of the same or mixed plants.

Consider making a strip garden in the middle of the lawn. A small area around the drive way or deck could be used to plant.

Containers provide an excellent way to grow vegetables. Make sure these plants get frequent waterings.

Think about growing climbing vegetables in a long rectangular box and using the deck railing as a pole support.

Use one of these great methods and you can have a great vegetable garden in no time!
