Kitchen Garden


Everything you need to know about planting your kitchen garden.

If you think planning your kitchen garden is difficult, please read this article.

What is a kitchen garden?
A kitchen garden is a garden comprised of vegetables that you plan to harvest and eat. The idea is not to plant what you think should be planted, but sit down and plot out what you like to eat. If you don't particularly care for tomatoes, don't plant any. If you like garlic or onions or herbs and lettuce, these are what you should be planning on planting in your kitchen garden.

How much to plant?
This will also take some planning. You will need to research the space required for each type of vegetable you wish to grow. Do they need to be started inside or can the seeds be sown straight into the ground? Do any vegetables you pick have other specific requirements. Such sun/shade/soil/water. Also, check the maturity time. There is no point planting a vegetable that matures long after fall frosts have killed it off.

Thank you for visiting my site about planting a kitchen garden.
