Navlet's Mini-Clinic Archive - How To Grow Vegetables
Even kids love homegrown vegetables! They're fun and easy to grow, taste great, and are great for you. Best of all, we live in a wonderful climate for backyard vegetable gardens. Here are a few quick tips. Visit any one of our stores for more information.
|
Gather The Materials Start with a well-prepared, heavily amended planting bed. Vegetables need good-draining, nutrient-rich soil. |
Select Your Vegetables Select varieties appropriate for your growing conditions. If this is your first vegetable garden, start small and with a limited number of varieties. |

Patience & Timing Be patient and time your planting according to the particular season's weather pattern. Don't rush Mother Nature; planting early won't guarantee earlier harvests. |
Pest Control Be vigilant from the start in protecting your garden from pests. The first few nights are often critical, when snails or slugs can wipe out an entire crop of tender young plants. |
