Nothing beats fresh vegetables that you have grown yourself. Not only does it taste great, but it tastes so much better because you helped it grow! There is a great personal satisfaction in growing your own garden and enjoying the delicious produce you will harvest. But, to grow the perfect vegetable garden you need to have a plan. Once you know where you are going with your garden, everything will fall into place!

Location
Find a sunny area of your yard where your garden will get full sun almost all day. If you think about a farm where they grow vegetables by the acre, there is usually no shade. The entire crop gets full sun all day. Full sun provided the best growing conditions for your crops, so make sure you choose the sunniest spot in your yard for your garden.

You need to make sure the area is level as well for proper watering. You don’t want your water to puddle at one end, drowning some plants while others suffer from drought! If you need to, terrace your garden or create raised beds that you can add soil to so the surface is level.

What to Grow
Some people get a little over zealous when then plant their garden and try to grow every crop under the sun! When harvest time rolls around they have no idea what to do with all the extra produce that their family doesn’t want. A good gardening rule is to only plant the kinds of vegetables that your family will eat. In addition, only plant as much as you can use. We have all seen people bring bags of zucchini to give away at work because they grew too much. If you do end up with too much produce from your garden, you can take it to a local farmers market or food pantry.

Good crops for home gardens are corn, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beets, and of course squash and pumpkins. Plant the taller crops so they don’t shade the small crops, plan your garden according to height. Remember that viney plants like squash and pumpkins will need a lot of room to spread, so plan accordingly.

Growing your own garden is great for the whole family. It is a wonderful way to teach children responsibility and help them understand where their food comes from. With a little planning you and your family can have delicious vegetables that you can proudly say you grew yourself!
