Vegetable Gardening - A Hobby for Everyone
The Rewards of Vegetable Gardening
If you love to have fresh produces in the spring and summer, you should consider creating a home vegetable garden. Growing a vegetable garden is a fun and healthy hobby that anyone can excel at.
While gardening, you may find that your troubles and stresses of the day simply float away. Home vegetable gardening relieves stress and allows you to be out in the sun. Vegetable gardening is proven to lower blood pressure and clear the mind. Also, the act of nurturing plants and watching them grow is rather soothing. And it can look good too!
The Pros of Organic Gardening
One great aspect of home vegetable gardening is that it does not require a bunch of chemicals. Therefore, home vegetable gardening allows you to have more natural, juicy, and healthier vegetables that are also better for the environment. Using a lot of chemicals on vegetables is not only unhealthy for your body, but also takes a large toll on the environment. Growing your own vegetable garden and using less chemicals yields natural food.
Organic vegetables are always the best-tasting because they will not be picked until they are completely ripe and you are ready to pick them. One more pro of growing your own organic vegetable garden is that it will save you money. Instead of buying all your organic vegetables at the store, you will have your own selection of vegetables at your disposal whenever you want them.
Anyone can create a home vegetable garden. As long as you have dirt somewhere, you can create an outdoor vegetable garden in the solid ground. Even if you don't have a plot of dirt, you can buy a few pots and create a container garden.
Vegetable Gardening on Solid Ground
Before starting your vegetable garden, should keep in mind these simple thoughts: size, location, and soil.
First of all, we'll discuss the location. You must plot your garden in an area with plenty of shade and sufficient drainage. You must nurture your plants by putting them in a place that receives about 6 hours of sunlight each day. Every plant is different and requires a different amount of light, but the average is six hours a day.
Therefore, do not plot your garden in a shady place! Also, make sure that your garden has adequate draining. If you place your garden at the bottom of a hill, water will flood your plants during the wet season; this is a common mistake that many beginning planters make. By locating your gardens away from bottoms of hills and other spots where water is likely to collect, you will prevent your vegetables from drowning!
Second of all, let's talk about size. You should decide how big you want your garden to be initially. Remember that you should start out small and expand later; otherwise the size of the garden may overwhelm you. I recommend starting out with a garden space of 25 square feet or less. After you get the hang of it, you can expand your vegetable garden as much as you would like.
Third, let's talk about soil. Soil is one of the most important aspects of gardening, so it is very important to have good soil to produce a good garden. The best type of soil is slightly loose and easy to till. Therefore, stay away from soil that is hard-packed. If your yard does not have a lot of good soil in it, you can fix this problem by using mulch or compost in your garden. Alternatively you can buy good soil from your local nursery.
Mulch is usually an organic covering, such as straw, leaves, compost, or peat that you can cover your garden with to enrich the soil, prevent weed growth, and prevent excessive evaporation of water. Compost consists of any organic particle, such as dead leaves, manure, or (most commonly) kitchen scraps. People put compost in their yards to improve the soil and provide nutrients for plants. Composting kills two birds with one stone; it is great for your garden and cuts down on your trash.
If you address the location, size, and soil of your garden, you will have a booming vegetable garden in no time. Also, some of these tips will also help those of you who choose to have a container vegetable garden.
Vegetable Gardening in Containers
Container gardening is the best type of gardening for many people. If you do not have a good plot of land to garden on, container gardening is your best bet. It is the most practical way to garden for those of us not lucky enough to have large plots of soiled land to garden on.
There are many pros to container gardening. You can place your plants wherever you want: in your living room, on your patio, etc., so that you can add color and radiance wherever you would like. With container gardening, you can easily place plants wherever they receive the best growing conditions. Another pro is that you will have fewer pests eating your plants if they are in containers rather than in the ground.
Although almost any plant will grow just fine in a container, there are some that grow exceptionally well in containers. These are: salad greens, spinach, tomatoes, eggplant, Swiss chard, radish, beets, peppers, and bush beans.
The con of container gardening is that they require more upkeep and maintenance. You must check up on and water many container plants everyday.
Most vegetable crops grow well in 5-gallon containers. No matter what size container you use, make sure it has adequate drainage to ensure a bountiful garden. You should add about 1 inch of coarse gravel in the bottom of the container to monitor drainage. Learn how to prepare the containers of each type of plant for a nice and low-cost indoor garden.
Gardening Problems You Can Tackle
There are two notorious enemies of gardening: weeds and pests. Here is some basic information and helpful hints on how to tackle each of these problems:
One problem a person may have in plant gardening is staying on top of all of the weeds. In order to prevent weeds from taking over your garden, you should go out daily and pick the weeds. Picking weeds may seem like a dull task, but if you have the right attitude, it can actually be quite relaxing and stress relieving.
Where there's a garden, there are bugs. Unless you want to use a bunch of chemicals, you must go outside and kill any damaging bugs on your plants. But make sure not to kill the good bugs, such as ladybugs or praying mantis, because they kill the bad bugs that eat your plants. In fact, you can buy good bugs at your local plant store and put them in your garden to help kill pests. Because no bugs kill big pests such as grasshoppers, you must pick off these big pests by hand.
The Love of Vegetable Gardening
Vegetable gardening is very rewarding because it makes you feel better, less stressed, and produces delicious vegetables for you to eat. If you like the fresh vegetables at farmer's market, you'll love to have a garden vegetable of your own to tend to and eat from.

The siren song of the garden centre
It’s spring and our garden centres are at their busiest: tools are tidily lined up, garden furniture has been moved near the entrance, and bedding plants by the thousands are tiered on shelves like strange horticultural cakes. The gardening industry waits all year for these few months. It doesn’t matter about the weather, it’s time to sell, sell, sell. And I don’t blame them – it’s an industry which is worth around £5bn a year.Like most gardeners, I love a trip to my local nursery or garden centre. I enjoy wandering among the plants and all the associated paraphernalia. I often lose track of time in such places. I’ve been known to get lost on a Homeric odyssey after setting out for something as simple as a bag of compost. Even at the supermarket, I am often guilty of slipping plants in among the yogurt and the crisps. I can’t help it. It’s like a reflex.
Last weekend was no exception. I was at a local garden centre. I have no memory of what I actually went in to buy, but I found myself looking at a new spade. It was a beautiful spade – solid, split ash handle with a sharp steel blade so fine you could slice butter. It looked durable yet elegant, as if it would extend from my hands like a part of my own body. With a tool such as that, I’m convinced I’d be the Gandalf of gardeners. Before me seedlings would rise and dance and flower. Blackspot would retreat from my roses and blight would never settle on my potatoes. I’m sure I could grow tomatoes outdoors. With a spade like that I could probably control the weather; the rain would fall at necessary intervals and the sun would blaze in the sky. As for the foxes, they wouldn’t even dare to enter my garden.
All I need is that spade.
However, the tool I garden with now is ever so slightly different. In my garage, hanging on the wall in all its glory, is a B&Q value spade. You know the one – ugly, green plastic handle with an inexpensive composite blade that is starting to rust. It’s a spade straight from the bottom shelf. It’s an object made cheap and sold cheap; a spade which is easy to forget. If my spade was a plant, it would be an evergreen shrub in a mixed border – necessary but utterly uninteresting.

Yet here’s the thing: my little value spade has taught me a valuable lesson about garden centres and all their glossy marketing. Like most life lessons, it is something quite simple to understand yet hard to accept. My spade has taught me that you really only need the most basic of implements to create a satisfying garden. I didn’t always think this way. Even from the start of my gardening life, I would look at magazines and drool over ridiculously priced terracotta pots and greenhouses which probably cost more than my first flat. Like a boy in a sweet shop, I felt as if I wanted one of everything. I was sure I needed that rustic potting bench. I was certain that those Victorian glass cloches would make my courgettes grow better than any piece of plastic. And wouldn’t that rototiller make short work of my clay soil? I had to have them all.
Luckily for me, my budget, and my wife, didn’t allow for such extravagancies. So when I got my first allotment, off I tromped down to the local DIY chain and bought my value spade. I think it cost about £7. I placed in in my trolley as a child would put broccoli into a grocery basket. The thought “necessary evil” entered my mind. All in good time, I thought, I’d upgrade to tools of a more Titchmarsh standard. I was sure I was just cutting my teeth and that things would change.
That was 10 years, two children, and an entirely new garden ago. And through it all has been my little green value spade. We’ve stay together like a married couple. At times the relationship has been trying, and there were moments when, in silent anger, we both contemplated separation. But, in the end, my spade and I have persevered and forged a good life together. Yes, we’re happy. We’ve made it.
Of course, if you want to recreate one of Capability Brown’s sweeping landscapes, then you are going to need deep pockets. However, for us commoners, there are economically viable solutions to any plot. When it comes to tools, simple is usually best. I get by on most days with a trowel, my value spade, and a garden fork. And really, who needs a dibber when you have a perfectly good finger. As for plants, basic packets of hardy annuals can be planted and will return year after year. Perennials spread easily too. I have found geraniums and leucanthemums growing in my beds which have jumped over from a neighbour’s garden. After a few years and several divisions they are now filling up my garden for free. Many people are happy to share and swap plants or give away old equipment. I’ve found gardeners are some of friendliest and most compassionate people I have ever met; ask for help and they’ll be happy to get you started. In short, while we would all love unlimited resources, the reality is that most of us garden on a budget and we all find ways to creatively cultivate the garden we desire.
Therefore this spring, as usual, I will attempt to control my spending and try to remember that glossy gardening equipment isn’t always necessary. That said, I am planning another trip to the garden centre in the next few weeks. Oh, and don’t tell anyone, but I may go back and look at that spade. It’s just so lovely. Maybe I will buy it. Maybe. It would be nice. I probably won’t, but it’s worth a look. Just don’t let my value spade find out; I wouldn’t want any hurt feelings.

Asparagus: You Can Grow That!
Nothing says, "SPRING!" like fresh Asparagus. With no real work on my part, I was able to get a decent harvest of Asparagus this week from my community garden plot. The only thing this perennial vegetable really requires is patience.
Having to three years from the initial planting date was a real test of my patience, but the wait is worth it. They are so tender fresh from the garden that I do not bother to cook them in any way, I just snack on them raw.
To plant them, buy Asparagus crowns via mail-order or in bags from your local garden center. Plant them in a trench about 6-12-inches deep and a foot wide in a sunny spot in your garden. Add in some organic compost when re-filling the hole and then keep the area well-mulched.
I let strawberries encroach in my Asparagus bed as their surface-runners don't really interfere much with the Asparagus roots, but you really should keep it weeded and free of interloping plants.
Other than that, the only other thing I do is tie-up the long Asparagus fronds in the summer and fall with a bungee cord as they like to flop over into the pathways. These get cut back and composted at the end of the growing season.
If I had to do it all over again, I definitely would have started off the first year in my garden plot with Asparagus, instead of waiting for year two. I also would have planted much more of it. I started with only three rootlets and I am harvesting a decent amount, but I am greedy for more, more, more!
