Hi everyone

Welcome to this edition of your Gardening Weekly, today's edition is entitled:

What are the best vegetables for a beginning gardener to grow?

Growing your own vegetables can be healthy and rewarding.  Fresh vegetables can be harvested from the garden all through the growing season and frozen and canned for the winter months.  To learn which vegetables are best for beginning gardeners to plant and how to care for your vegetables, see the end of today's Weekly.  In the meantime let's have a look at this overview on vegetable gardening.

Preparation

Vegetables need exceptionally good drainage to thrive. Creating a raised bed is the easiest way to give your vegetable plants good drainage and to create irrigation channels for watering.

What to plant.  Easy vegetables for beginning gardeners

Most vegetables can be easily grown from seeds.  However, the beginning gardener may want to begin by using established plants from the local garden center.  This helps the new gardener learn about plant spacing the plants as well as helps to avoid planting too many vegetable plants.

When to plant.  From Spring to fall have fresh vegetables all through the growing season

By staggering your planting schedule you can have fresh lettuce, beans and peas maturing at regular intervals throughout most of the growing season.  Knowing the best times of year to establish each particular vegetable plant will give you just the right amount of produce for your family.

Sun Exposure, Water and Fertilizing

Depending on the type of soil you have used for your vegetable garden spot, it may not be necessary to fertilize your vegetables at all.  Learning the signs of plants that need fertilizer helps to ensure that your vegetable plants stay healthy and well-fed so that they produce the best crop possible.  Proper watering, not too much and not too little, and proper sun exposure are also vital to the growth and production of vegetable plants.

You can discover a huge variety of different vegetables to grow in your garden, visit our page at Vegetables For Your Garden and, as stated at the beginning of today's Gardening Weekly, you can also learn a lot more at our Gardening Made Easy.
