It is the time of year that we
start thinking of gardens. You
have decided to grow a garden
for the first time. So, where do
you start?
First, make sure you have
room for a garden. You won’t
need a lot of space if you are a
beginner with an average-sized
family. Your garden may only
be 20 feet by 50 feet or even
less.
Whatever size garden you
have, plan it around four basic
requirements - sunlight, loca-
tion, soil, and water. First your
garden needs sunlight. All veg-
etables need some sun and
most vegetables must have full
sun to achieve the highest
yields of quality produce.
Unless you are concentrating
on leaf or bulb crops, such as
broccoli, collards, spinach, or
onions, your crops need every
available ray of sunshine.
Next, consider the location
of your garden. Locate your
garden close to the house so
that watching it will not be a
chore. A garden does not
demand constant care and
attention, but it does much bet-
ter if you visit it once a day. If
you do not check your garden
regularly, insects, diseases, or
lack of water can destroy it in a
short time.
Next, consider the soil.
Ideally the soil should be fertile
and easy to till with just the
right texture - a loose, well-
drained, loamy soil. If your
soil does not meet these speci-
fication, don’t panic.
You can work it into shape
without breaking your back.
Avoid areas heavily infested
with Johnson grass, nut grass,
and other tough weeds. Don’t
put your garden on a rocky
ledge or in a poorly drained
area. These things make gar-
dening more difficult.
Probably the most important
requirement of any garden is
the availability of water. You
want to place your garden near
a spigot or where it can be eas-
ily reached with a garden hose.
In a typical year, watering is
necessary about once a week,
unless it is unusually dry, it will
require more frequent water-
ing. When it is hot and dry, be
sure to water your garden early
in the morning to decrease
chance of evaporation and
ensure the plants of receiving
needed water.
Now that you are ready for
the planning stage of your gar-
den, the first step would be to
select the vegetables you want
to grow.
Plant vegetables that you
and your family enjoy to eat
and especially in a small gar-
den, avoid those vegetables you
usually don’t buy at the local
grocery store. With a few
exceptions, you can grow
almost any vegetable you
enjoy.
After you have selected your
vegetables, make a rough dia-
gram of your garden. Indicate
the number of rows and differ-
ent vegetables you wish to
plant. Also, show the desired
location of each crop, the num-
ber of plants or feet of rows you
want to plant and the optimum
time to plant each crop.
In the Extension office, we
have plenty of publications on
many popular crops grown in
east Texas that may help you on
specifications for each veg-
etable. The Extension office is
located in room 104 of the
courthouse.
Question of the Week
What is a good way to keep
seed left over from this year’s
garden?
Leave the seed in the origi-
nal packets or labeled
envelopes and place it in an air-
tight container such as a wide-
mouthed jar. For long-term
storage, securely wrap 2 table-
spoons of powdered milk in tis-
sue paper and place it in the
bottom of the jar. The pow-
dered milk acts as a desiccant
and lengthens storage life of
garden seed. Keep the jar in
the refrigerator until next gar-
dening season.
