What is most important for vegetable gardening?

Answer 1

This can often depend on what vegetables you wish to plant in your garden. To ensure that you have a good supply of vegetables, it is best to include vegetables that are known to have different harvest seasons. Next, once you have the vegetables of your choice ready to be planted, make sure you plan where to plant the vegetables. Always place vegetables that need direct sunlight in sunny part of the garden. It is also important to place vegetables that need less sunlight in the part that has shades.

Enhancing the plants' environment is key: Sufficient water, proper shade, protection from wind, proper amount of sun, good soil so that the root system can take hold, and the proper amount of the right fertilizer at the right times all work together to make your garden a success. And timing, so check with your local library so that you know what month to plant what vegetables.
