Vegetable Gardening

Vegetable gardening can be a source of income and exercise. You don’t need a wide area to have a garden of you own—your backyard or front lawn will do.

Before start planting, you should make sure if the season or weather is good enough for your seeds. Too much rain will drown all your seeds so the best time is during spring.

There are only three steps to a successful vegetable gardening.
1. Plan your garden. It is not about just crouching down when you feel like starting your home garden right away. Just like other activities, you have to plan it first. Search for a spot in your lawn that catches the full sunlight. Your garden should get at least six hours of sunlight everyday. Consider also the quantity of varieties that you will plant so that you can estimate how wide your garden will be. A tall fence is also needed to secure the area for dogs or any animal that can destroy the plants. Lastly, finalize what type of vegetables to plant.
2. Preparing the soil. Since soil is where the plants get the nutrients they need, you have to be very careful in choosing because not all of them prefer the same kind of soil. Choose the one that can retain its moisture and rich in organic matter.
3. Planting the seeds. Dig out the soil to make it fluffy. Seeds don’t want a compacted soil. Mark the spot on where your seeds be planted. Pathways are also important so that you have a space to walk on.

If you think your garden is secured enough, proper caring for it should be applied. Your vegetables will depend on how you will take care of them. Vegetable gardening will not only help you work out, it can also help you to be responsible and get the feeling of fulfillment.
