It requires a lot of work and commitment. You will have to take care of your garden throughout the year. It is a very rewarding activity as you can eat fresh vegetables all year round. You can also use your garden as a place to relax in the summer months and enjoy the fresh air.
Vegetables are great to grow as they are so easy to grow. All you need is some space, some soil and some sunshine. Vegetables can be grown in pots or in the ground.
Pots
You can buy plastic pots from any supermarket. These are ideal as they are lightweight and cheap. If you want to start off small, then this is a good way to go. However, if you want to expand your garden, then you should consider buying some wooden planters. They are more expensive but they last longer and you can customise them to suit your needs.
Soil
If you are growing vegetables in pots, then you do not need much soil. You can use compost and peat moss. However, if you are planting directly into the ground, then you will need to make sure that you have enough soil. This is because vegetables need to be able to absorb the water that they need to survive.
Sunshine
As long as you live somewhere with plenty of sunshine, then you will be able to grow vegetables. Some vegetables need lots of sunlight to grow well. For example, tomatoes need at least 8 hours of sun a day. So, if you have a garden, then you should make sure that you leave a space for it.
Vegetables come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The most common ones include carrots, potatoes, peas and tomatoes. There are other vegetables too, such as broccoli, spinach and onions.
