6 Small Vegetable Garden Ideas


If you are like me, your vegetable garden plans and availability will not always match. But I always find space even in small vegetable gardens! Small crops like 'Easy Big Gold' zucchini, 'Tasmanian chocolate' tomatoes and 'Katrina' cabbage allow you to increase productivity in large and small gardens. But this is not the only way to grow less. The garden you see above uses many ideas to pack more vegetables in small spaces. I treat you with tips.


1. Plant in elevated beds


Raised beds allow you to control soil composition, plant vigorously, and fit more vegetables in a smaller space. They provide excellent drainage, warm up in early spring, and are easily maintained. Use anti-rot materials such as cedar, hemlock, or garden steel as you see above, and fill evenly with good quality garden soil and compost.


2. Grow vegetables in containers



Planting in containers, window boxes, hanging baskets or buckets also allows balcony gardeners to grow food.


Three rules of container gardening


Select pots with drainage holes.


Larger pots have more soil so it dries faster.


Use pot mix, not garden soil as pot mixes are light and well-drained.


3. Grow vertically


Growing food in a space-challenging garden often requires creative solutions. Winery vegetables such as cucumbers, squash, and unripe tomatoes use very little garden space when growing fences, crossbars, stakes, obelisks, and other structures. In addition, ground plants are less susceptible to pests and diseases. Be sure to plant them in easily accessible structures. Polar bears on a crossbow at the back of an entire border may seem like a good idea in the spring but can be difficult to access for harvest in mid-summer.


4. Edible Nature Exercise Training


You do not need a separate place to grow food. Instead, mix vegetables and ornamental plants together. This is a very brilliant small vegetable garden idea. Using leaf lettuce or curly parsley is easy to create an edible edge in front of a flower border; Place pepper, tomato, or broccoli seedlings among your favorite perennials or grow polar beans and cucumbers in a cross-stitched grate or tree. You can mix food and flowers together in summer containers. Ultra dwarf tomatoes and peppers can be planted with garnishes like salvia or marigold.


5. Avoid vegetables that take up a lot of room



I love growing pumpkins, melons, and corn, but the plants take up a lot of space, take three to four months to harvest from seed, and do not produce a large enough harvest to justify so much garden space. If you do not have a large garden and still want to grow crops such as pumpkin or winter squash, stick to the bush or dwarf varieties such as Butterfly 'Butternut Squash', which have small, slender growths, except for wine.


6. Walk vigorously


One of the easiest ways to increase productivity is intermittent planting and successive planting. Combining growing crops in different proportions such as fast-growing leaf lettuce and slow-growing tomato. As the size of the tomato plants increased and the space required, the fast leaf lettuce was long gone. Succession planting is the process by which one crop follows another. As the spring vegetables are harvested, fertilize, and fertilize the soil with summer crops such as bush beans, zucchini, or bush cucumbers.

Social media gardening myths. . .DEBUNKED!

If your feed is anything like mine, you will receive regular updatesmGardening information every time you look at your phone. Manyn These articles, memes and posts are mostly good or at least harmless. But some ideas that keep popping up are useless or dangerous to you or your plants. Here are some ridiculous social media myths we should all avoid sharing 1. Oil and vinegar kill weeds. Homemade herbicides have been making the rounds on social media since I first got on Facebook 15 years ago. All of the household herbicides you see include vinegar or oils that kill plants more quickly and "naturally" than something like Roundup. The problem is that vinegar and oil kill quickly By burning the tops of a plant, they don't kill the entire plant, so the weeds grow back on the roots. Of course, very small plants can be killed completely, but this is the exception rather than the rule. A final The problem with vinegar and oil is that they are extremely dangerous to a...

5 Plants I Always Start From Seed

Seeds can be started in a number of ways: directly in the ground outdoors, indoors under lights or in a greenhouse, and even in the refrigerator with a paper towel. I use all of these methods. The needs of the plant and how it germinates determine the method I do. But the reasons I grow specific plants from seed vary. For example, sometimes it’s the only way I can find a particular variety. I’ll walk you through seven plants I always start from seed and highlight why and how. 1. Petunia Petunia spp. and hybrids Why start from seed? I use petunias in mass plantings, which can be expensive to fill large beds with layers of plants from the garden center. I may not be able to find some of the fanciest colors or double cultivars, but seeds of many great landscaping petunias, such as the Shockwave series above, are available. Seed-Starting Tips Start petunias indoors about 10 weeks before the last expected frost in your zone, so they will be ready to go into the garden as soon a...

They are one of the most difficult perennials to grow

Most difficult perennials to grow 'Some perennials often considered difficult to grow require the right conditions and some patience to fully enjoy their beauty,' 'Some plants I classify as the gold of perennials - they must be successful. Too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry, too much sun or too much shade, and they cannot survive or thrive. 1. Bearded iris Although bearded iris is one of the oldest and most well-known perennials, there are some common problems that can make it challenging to grow. "Root rot is a common problem with bearded iris, caused by planting too deep or where the soil doesn't drain well," says horticulturist Katie Sunderlage. ‘To avoid root rot, it is important to plant the rhizome 1-2 inches below the surface of well-drained soil, adding organic matter if needed. These majestic garden plants are also susceptible to insect and disease problems, particularly leaf spot, iris borer and aphids. Katie continues, 'To prev...
