Starting A Vegetable Garden
Whether you’re looking to grow your tried-and-true favorites or try something new, a vegetable garden is an easy way to put fresh produce on the table.
Varities that grow well together (companion planting) are also a good way to maximize space and yields, so consider this when planning your plot.
