The Ultimate Guide to Vegetable Gardening for Beginners: How to Grow Your Own Healthy Organic Vegetables All Year Round + The Ultimate Guide to Companion Gardening for Beginners: How to Use Companion Plants for a Successful Flower or Vegetable Garden Vegetable Gardening Want to concentrate on specific vegetables that are easy to grow and are favorites in most cook books? The author would like to stress the importance of growing the right type and mix of veggies. This way you get a better crop, and useful veggies that usually go hand in hand with each other. Don't try to do too much too soon. Don't try to start planting when it's too cold outside. The lowest soil temperature for planting is 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The best soil temperature is around 50 degrees to 60 degrees. Every successful farmer/gardener has a mentality that considers nature first, before spur of the moment decisions. As an added bonus, planting veggies will turn you into a very observant person. You know you're a serious farmer/gardener when: you learn to watch the news for a weather forecast; you constantly look at the temperature; you're schedule improves because you need to water your plants at this hour, every day.

Companion Gardening Companion gardening is just planting certain plants together because they will help each other grow and become healthier. It is said that companion gardening is even better than using fertilizers or artificial ways of letting plants grow because the plants can benefit from each other and it's all a natural process. Some of the basics of Companion Gardening: -Tall plants are planted near shorter plants so they could some shade for the shorter plants. This works best between sunflowers and corn. -Companion Plants can lure away pests from green leafy vegetables, and they can also attract beneficial insects to help in the pollination of flowers. For instance, aphids are attracted to plants like Nasturtium, this lures them away from the other plants in the garden. -You can plant two plants on the same patch which will save you space and time. -Incompatible Pairings include planting garlic and onions near peas and beans. Because doing so will stunt the growth of the peas and beans. -It would be best for you to record what is happening in your garden via a logbook or a gardening journal so that you can observe which plants are good with each other and which plants are not.
