So give it a try!

In this section, we break down the process of having a vegetable garden into simple, easy-to-follow steps.

2. Vegetable Files

The most common problem for beginning vegetable gardeners is trying to grow too many different vegetables in the first year. You need to remember that every different vegetable - green beans, sweet peppers, to tomatoes - all have slightly different cultural requirements to be happy. They produce ready to pick fruit at different times in the season. They all have their own set of pest insects. They all have their own needs for water and fertilizer.

Years ago, the primary reason for growing your own vegetables was to save money in the food budget. Today with virtually every common vegetable available in the supermarket every month of the year, the reason to grow your own vegetables is mostly to have better flavor and nutrition from the vegetables you grow yourself.
