The most successful vegetable garden is the one in which you eat most of what you grow. This takes great will power to avoid the seduction of the seed catalog or the display rack at the garden center.
In addition, it requires some serious thought and planning.
What does the family
enjoy eating?
First, you must determine what you and your family will eat, how much, and when you will eat it. Of course, everyone likes sweet corn...but 200 ears the second week of August? Isn’t that the week you agreed to take the family to the beach?
Proper planning will let you schedule for the optimum harvest throughout the growing season.
Decide if you are growing for fresh eating only or if you will can, freeze, or store produce for winter use. This will determine the size of the garden, the amount of each vegetable that you grow, and the variety.
