How to grow my own vegetables by foofychick

"After deciding to "eat locally" we opted to rent a p-patch down the street and set up a big veggie patch and are living on tomatoes, squash and sugar snap peas this year."

How I did it: We signed up for our community P-Patch and rent 2 spaces for the year.  We grew green beans, tomatillos, 8 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, sugar snap peas, watermelon, cucumbers, zucchini, crookneck squash and spaghetti squash as well as an assortment of herbs and lettuces.

We picked up plants at the organic veggie shop in town and at the local farmer's market and set ourselves up nicely.

Lessons & tips: Stay on top of the weeds and don't overwater everything.  Do water the garden every day in the morning and use Miracle Grow for best results.

Resources: Miracle Grow. :)
