Free Brazos County Master Gardeners class to help your vegetable garden – KBTX

Starting A Vegetable Garden

Whether it’s just for your family or you’re planning to sell your vegetables, a vegetable garden can provide fresh, homegrown food and a sense of accomplishment.

Vegetables grow best in a sunny, well-drained location with a soil that’s rich in nutrients. Keep the garden soil moist but not muddy by watering daily, or more frequently during hot weather.
