Sowing Your Own Seeds
It's fun to grow your own vegetable garden! Most plants need four things to grow: water, air, sun and nutrients that are usually supplied by the soil. Spring and summer are a good time to plant vegetables.
Radishes, lettuce, basil and tomatoes are great plants for the beginner. Most growers plant their vegetables in rows. But you can have fun experimenting with different garden shapes! Before planting, read your seed packet. It will tell you the size of the fully grown vegetables. Then you can figure out the space you'll need between plants. The packet will give you directions on how to plant the seeds and when to harvest your vegetables. Most vegetable seeds usually sprout in about 7 to 10 days.
