My passion is to get folks interested in growing their own food. To help with that, I’ve put together 10 vegetable garden tips that make all the difference.

What prompted me to choose that topic for this week’s video? Well, there are little things specific to growing veggies that are so important. You will be well on your way to success if you take these tips to heart. Some might seem obvious and yet it’s easy to overlook them.

I started growing veggies at the young age of 16. My very first garden contained a couple of tomato plants and a zucchini or two. As I recall, things went remarkably well and I was hooked! While I made a lot of mistakes in the early days, all were learning experiences for me.

What kind of vegetable garden tips are in this video?

  • The importance of sunlight
  • How and when to water
  • Choosing varieties that are well-suited for your region
  • Planting at the right time
  • Providing your veggies with the correct nutrients, based on what they’ll produce for you
  • Why you should give your veggies the right amount of space (spoiler alert: if you don’t, bad things happen!)
  • Keeping up with the weeds since they cause bad problems for your vegetable plants
  • Monitoring your garden regularly. It’s simple to do but what a difference it makes!
  • The importance of gardening organically. It’s easy and not expensive.
  • Ways to deal with pesky bugs.

Yeah, that’s a lot of information, right? But I was able to squeeze it into a mere 15 minutes so you can be off and running!

I also mentioned the Grow Vegetables guide on my website. I wanted you to a great resource, no matter what you’re wanting to grow. It took me quite a while to put together but I’m very please with what it contains. When you go to that link, scroll down to the chart and pick the crop you want to know more about.

I hope my tips were helpful. A lot of times, it’s easier to develop good habits if we know what might happen otherwise, right? Did you know that I now have 670 gardening videos?! I know, I can’t believe it either but I love helping others grow a garden. If you love growing veggies, check out my Vegetable Gardening Playlist on my YouTube channel.

As always, happy gardening!
