Does anyone have any gardening tips?

Question

Im thinking about starting a garden but what should I plant since summer is just about over? and what do i need to know about plowing the ground anything special? so any ideas on what to grow. I already have and apple and orange tree so fruit is pretty much covered

Answer 1

Ive just planted my veg, some say its too late but veg is very versatile. Ive planted potatoes, cabbage, coli, Brussels, carrots, parsnips, Swede, these are all fine to grow thro the winter.

As for plants, I wouldnt chance planting right now. Start a compost heap, use grass cuttings, all the veg peelings and get some manure.

when spring comes use this for your plants, and mix it with normal compost.

you will have the biggest lushest plants.

Answer 2

There are vegetables you may still plant now and into the fall check what zone you live in and plant accordingly. I live in zone 7 so what I may be able to plant now, you might not. Also you can plant bulbs inthe fall but I would not recommend planting flowers now.. Here are some sources of information that might be helpful to you in your planning and planting. I use Mother Earth news even though I am an experienced gardener. When it comes to gardening, we never know it all!!! What is as fun as the planning, planting and reaping of our garden, is there is always new and helpful things to learn along our gardening path. I hope these sites will help lead you to many years of gardening pleasure. Faira
