Ready to jump into gardening? It can be a little frightening at first, but gardening is an extremely rewarding hobby to get into.On this page, we'll introduce the basics of vegetable gardening and planning: how to pick the right site for your garden, how to create the right size garden, and how to select which vegetables to grow.
Pick the right location
Picking a good location for your garden is absolutely key.Here are a few tips for beginners to choose a good site: First, plant in a sunny location, because most vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.Secondly, plant in a place without too much water.Thirdly, find an environment that is not likely to change.Avoid places that receive strong winds, floods or too much foot traffic.
Choosing a small piece of land
Remember: It's better to be proud of a small garden than be frustrated by a big one! One of the most common errors that beginners make is planting too much or too soon.Plan your garden with care.Start small, and only grow what you know you'll eat.
Choosing vegetables
Many vegetables are common, productive plants that are relatively easy to grow.It would be wise to contact your state's Cooperative Extension Service (CES) to find out what plants grow best in your area.Choose what you (and your family) like to eat.If no one likes Brussels sprouts, don't plant them! Be aware of how many vegetables your family will eat.Be careful not to overplant.
