A Beginners Guide To Gardening Vegetables
You will need to start weeding your vegetable garden, regardless of whether you are looking to grow them in containers or on a smaller scale. Use a trowel or bucket to remove the roots of weeds. As weeds can take a long time to get rid of, make sure you use gloves and protect your hands when you are working with soil. You can now plant your seeds once you've done that.
Beetroot is an easy vegetable to grow, which is best planted between March and July. Keep the soil moist and water it once every 10-14 day, especially during dry weather. You can harvest the roots when they reach the size of a golfball. Runner beans are another easy vegetable to grow, but will need a bamboo cane support system. You can also grow runner beans in a wire frame.
French beans are also very easy to grow. However, they tend to be prolific. They can be planted in a 10-litre pot, and the harvest will come by the end. To extend the harvest, you can also sow them in successions. The dwarf french beans are usually green-podded but you can also choose purple or yellow varieties like Golddukat, Purple Teepee and Stanley.
Potatoes are another easy and popular vegetable to grow. Unlike tomatoes, potatoes can be grown in pots and can be planted directly in the ground. You can either buy potato planters that are specially designed or you can make your very own with grow bags and a large container. Potatoes need a lot of root room. Planting potatoes is easy. It involves sowing small amounts every few weeks. A single planter can grow several small potatoes, so only a little will suffice.
Runner beans can be grown easily and require support. When they have reached maturity, cut the beans in half. You can use the leftovers to make baby or shredded salad components. They can be used as a snack, in juices and salads once they are fully grown. Green beans have many health benefits and are easy to grow. Enjoy green beans!
Another easy-to-grow vegetable is onion. They are relatively easy and quick to grow from seed. Onions are easy to grow in containers and tolerate a wide range of conditions. Despite being very popular, they are relatively easy to grow. You can harvest onions when they reach 15cm in height and have a sturdy appearance.
