If you are ready to take the plunge, here are some quick tips for getting started:
- First, consider your reasons for starting a vegetable garden. If you just want to be self-sufficient and grow some of your own food, you may want a small garden right in the back yard. If you want to save money on your grocery bill and have enough produce to freeze or can, then a larger space is needed.
- Next, think about the size of your garden. Do not plan more than you can handle; that is, do not plant more vegetables than you know how to care for. Vegetables need regular watering and fertilizing; they must be pulled when ripe; weeds must be kept out of the way; and pests need controlling if at all possible. Decide on a manageable size garden depending on how much time and energy you can devote to caring for it. Start small when first starting out and gradually increase each year as your expertise grows!
- Think about exactly what type of vegetables will grow best in your area. Look up information on local gardening sites or contact local cooperative extension offices which should have publications available that can help identify what will work best in your climate zone (most cities have one). These publications should also list which growing season is appropriate for planting each vegetable as well as any specific soil requirements the plants may have (for example, zucchini requires sandy soil but potatoes require heavy clay soil).

Peppermint Oil:
Though peppermint oil is plant oil, it works as an amazing bug repellent. You can sprinkle some in your garden when you put in your last batch of plants and be sure that any aphids will stay away from your precious crop. The oil is also great for washing your clothes and leaving a fresh scent wherever you go. Peppermint essential oil has been used for centuries as both a medicine and as an insect repellent with strong antibacterial properties that act against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes and viruses. The oil was used extensively throughout history as one of the most powerful natural medicines by people all over the world to treat digestive disorders and respiratory ailments such as bronchitis or asthma (1). It has been found to relieve gas pains, stimulate digestion and cure symptoms of intestinal worms such as diarrhea or constipation (2). Peppermint essential oil also contains terpenoids (epicandene), which help speed healing after surgery because they are similar to human epidermal growth factor (3). It relieves pain caused by arthritis , rheumatism , gout , headache , migraines , toothache .
Neem Oil Spray: Neem contains neematholide A which helps fight off whiteflies and thrips . So spray some on leaves when you add them into the compost pile or mix it into the soil before planting anything because bad bugs hate this stuff! Another use for neem oil is spraying directly on insects along with water to kill them off rapidly like ants or carpenter bees .
