There's nothing like fresh veggies and fruits.especially If they're organic and from lovingly tended gardens. The problem is that most stores don't offer this.This is why a backyard garden and even mini orchard pays off. You get fresh ,chemical free produce at any time that you want it.Growing and gardening are also fun hobbies too, connecting you with nature.
The first thing to do is plot your garden. Ask yourself what you want to plant. If your family loves pasta and salsa, then think about growing tomatoes. There are all sorts and they're relatively fuss free to raise. If you want something simple, then think radishes, They're the first veggies that kids grow because they're easy to tend to and sprout quickly. Carrots are too, however they grow the best in sandy soil.Another snap to grow is lettuce . It can even be cultivated in containers for those that want the simplicity of a patio garden.
If you;re planning on growing squash and melon, then start clearing out your garden. These require a lot of space , Melon requires a warm soil about seventy degrees Fahrenheit. Maintaining an even temperature is easy, Use a permeable black tarp to keep the plants toasty during cool late nights and early mornings.It's also important to have good irrigation as well. Squash requires a lot of ground as well, however they are a bit easier to grow than their vined cousins,the pumpkin. As with trees. if you;re think of planting any fruit trees, then get saplings, They;re easier to tend to than planting by seed. Apple and peach trees.give you fruit as soon as they reach puberty.which is the second year. Strawberries and blueberries yield quickly and they basically easy to care for.
This is the time of year to start thinking about your organic garden. Choose the veggies and fruits you know your family will like.Also keep in mind about their facility to grow.. This will give you the best garden and the best produce to enjoy.
