By Lucas Echo Xavier


If you are new to gardening, then if you are like so many others you can hardly wait to see the fruits of your efforts. If you want to ensure success in your garden this year, start planting early well before the season actually begins. Having a game plan ready once you start to plant your seeds will help you be more efficient. This type of advanced planning is used by veterans of this particular pastime. Doing some preparatory work by getting organized can only help you get your initial gardening work out of the way. Don't over extend yourself by planning to get a lot done that you can't. Remember that will have to devote time each week to tending to your gardens.

An incredibly exciting moment is when a first time veggie gardener gets to eat the food they have cultivated for the first time. Because that minute is the conclusion of all the hard labor in planting your garden and taking care of it as well as the planning. Of course you will discover vegetables that taste like no other you have ever eaten before in your life. Yet it can be almost puzzling when you are new to this as there is such a large amount of information to process. So our suggestion is to take things a step at a time and arrange things as well as can be. At the end of it, you can look at what you accomplished and come to the conclusion it wasn't as difficult as you were first thinking.

Wide rows that are about 3 feet apart are optimal for several different types of vegetables. If you are planning on growing peas, then this type of row will work the best. When you plant using wider rows, what you will discover is the plants will grow and offer shading action on the nearby soil. This type of planting will help save you time and money in regard to less weeds developing and less water to be used. The more shade that there is, the more moisture there will be in the ground. Plus, weed grow will be less due to the shade from the crops. The use of wide rows also diminishes the need for using supporting stakes for certain plants that grow.

Each season we add perennial plants because many people love them and we are no exception. We love them because it takes just a little creativity to do a lot with them. The natural aesthetic is something we enjoy in a lot of our cultivated plants. Therefore with yearly plants, continually make use of small and medium types and then group them. Certainly you could put as many as you want together, however it will depend on what you want to succeed and the amount of space provided. Similar kinds that are bundled together also have a more breathtaking effect and on top of that, it looks more natural.

Vegetable gardening, especially in wider rows, can help your vegetables grow even better. We need to talk about this a little bit more so we will do so now. Instead of planting in single rows, try to do it in wider rows and see how much more production you get out of your garden. Some people have actually reported having a 200% increase in production. People that do not have a very large garden area can utilize this and do very well. As we mentioned before, more plants means more shade. Another effect that should be mentioned is that plant shade creates a mulching effect. Your garden will more than likely be a success as long as you do an adequate amount of planning before hand. This step is almost always never done and that is why many gardens do not do that well. Your garden will reflect in its bounty how well you planned for it this year. You will definitely notice a difference by getting this done.

One thing that more and more folks are doing in order to increase their motivation when doing redecorating jobs is to keep records of everything on a computer. Keeping a personal computer dedicated solely to do it yourself projects is becoming more and more popular. It's very easy to set up a home network in order to do this.
