Vegetable Gardening For Beginners

Okay! Let's get the ball rolling by giving you a mini overview of just a bit on what we will cover on my website.

  • Planning Your Garden

    This is the first mistake most beginner gardeners make. Yes, most people have a general idea what they want to grow, then head out to the back yard, dig a hole, and plant their favorite vegetable.


    If luck isn't on their side (and it usually isn't), their plants will slowly whither and die.

    So what did our beginner gardener do wrong? To learn the answer read this article on beginner gardening.
