Garden plans are part of vegetable gardening, putting your garden plan on paper will help you determine what you will be growing and where to plant it.
When creating your vegetable garden keep in mind if you want
to grow an organic vegetable garden companion planting and crop rotation will
play an important role. Of all the
vegetables you will be growing in your garden Rhubarb and Asparagus are the
most common perennials. If you are
growing these you need to find a spot for them before planning the rest of your
vegetable garden.
To plan your garden take a look at your yard, maybe even
draw up a rough plan of your property with your house, patio, etc. in the
plan. This will give you a better idea
of where to place your vegetable garden and how much room you will have for
your garden.
When you have selected the location for your vegetable
garden, keeping in mind the amount of sunshine the location will receive, the
soil and the level of land. Read more on
this my organic vegetable garden page.
Now to create your garden plan use a piece of paper to draw
it out, think about what vegetables you like to keep in your fridge and decide which
ones you will be growing in your garden.
Lettuce, peas, beets, chard, carrots, radishes, potatoes and green beans
are fairly easy to grow. You’ll have to
decide whether you have room to grow all the plants you want in your plan.
When you have decided what vegetables your want to include
in your plan and how much room to will have to grow them, then take a look at
companion planting to make sure you get the best out of every harvest. As an example Peas and Carrots grow very well
together.
