Home Vegetable Gardening Tips For Beginners

Vegetable gardening is no longer simply a hobby any longer. It’s now become a smart and healthier strategy to battle shifts within our economy as well as the ever increasing food costs.

About 6 months ago we experienced yet another economic depression that made it hard to have our money last through the entire month.

During the last economic downturn we were vegetable gardening newbies. Turns out it was perfect timing for us. It provided a great opportunity to save money on our food bill.

We felt like we actually had a bit of control in a recession we couldn’t control.

Get Your Neighbours And Friends Involved

It’s wonderful having vegetable gardening friends who bring fresh vegetables right to our front door. Barb, one of my guitar playing friends would even bring over extra preserves she made herself. Mmmm, so good.

Now we share vegetables we can consume fast enough, although this year we are planning to have Barb show us how to preserve vegetables for the winter.

Grow Things That Are Easy To Grow

Our first vegetable garden was a container garden as we didn’t have permission or space to dig up in the yard we rented.

When we started growing tomatoes in containers we really didn’t realize how many tomatoes we would produce. So many we had to give most of them away before they spoiled.

We were definitely saving some money on the grocery bills by growing our own produce but it gets better. We found that some of vegetable gardening friends were willing to try something new that would help us all.

We started growing things we could share between us. One would grow tomatoes, lots of tomatoes while another would grow cucumbers and yet another would grow strawberries.

That first spring we started sharing was amazing and each of us noticed a considerable saving on our food bill.

This year my wife and I are growing tomatoes in abundance, enough to share but also enough to keep for preserves next winter. Tomatoes are a big part of our diet as we put tomatoes in everything, pretty much.

We learned that we don’t want squash in our main vegetable garden as they tend to grow through everything else so we created a new location for squash and we’re growing enough to share with our team.
