Growing Vegetables

Growing vegetables isn’t that hard! In every home I have lived in over the past 19 years I have grown some of my own vegetables. Some homes had lots of space, others very little.

growing vegetablesYou can grow organic vegetables in pots, flower beds, raised beds, freely in your garden or in a specified vegetable patch.

Let’s look at all these different situations for how you can use the least space to where you have oodles of space for vegetables.

No matter which way you choose, you will achieve some degree of success by direct proportion of how much time, effort and money you spend.

But once you get started you will realise that nothing equals the delight of that first harvest and the taste of the vegetables fresh from the plant.

Growing vegetables indoors – 

If you live in a small apartment or a townhouse where there is no courtyard then you can grow a limited amount of vegetables indoors. You will need a sunny windowsill and normally a long trough like pot is better than round ones as it takes up less space on your counter top.>>>Read more

Balconies, patios and paved courtyards are perfect for growing vegetables in pots or grow-bags. You need to be aware though that vegetables in pots tend to dry out very quickly and use up the nutrients in the soils faster. >>>>Read more

Go Greener

In the UK, and possibly other parts of the world, you can get an allotment of ground outside the city to grow your own produce. Contact your city’s municipality and see if you can get one. If there is no such program available, think about spearheading the research into this.Go Greener still… Many city folk are choosing to sell up in town and move onto small holdings and live more naturally. Many still commute to work, but find the commute worth it for the quality of life they have at home. Perhaps this can become a goal for you?

Also consider the benefits of gardening as you start your own veggie patch!
