Gardening Tips & Tidbits..........

Gardening Tips for the "Garden Newbie." Your goal is to grow the most produce from the least amount of space. And here are a few simple tips.

* Plant succession plants every 2 weeks in early spring and fall.

* Grow vertical crops that can grow upwards to save space. Trellis snow peas, beans, pole beans, and cucumbers. You can even get Butternut and Spaghetti Squash to climb a very sturdy fence or trellis.

* Avoid over-planting any single vegetable. Zucchini and Yellow-Neck Squash are the biggest offenders when it comes to over-production. One plant is enough!! Really.

* Plant medium and small-fruited tomatoes and peppers. The smaller the fruits, the more plants tend to produce.

* Garden with LOVE and LOVE what you Garden!!
