Want to start a vegetable garden?

Struggling to find the information you need?

Tired of places that make gardening seem complicated?

Tired of websites dedicated to growing whole fields of crops instead of a home garden?

This site was created to be a simple, realistic, practical guide to growing a vegetable garden.

Growing vegetables is an extremely rewarding activity, but when I first started my garden I found it frustrating to find the information that I needed, much less to find it explained in an organized, easy to read manner that was applicable to my little home garden. The frustration of trying to find information robbed me of a lot of the joy I should have been experiencing from my garden. So I set out to make sure that other gardeners don’t have that same experience going forward.

This site is dedicated to the home vegetable gardener. From those of you growing in small containers and raised beds to those of you growing in small fields, it is my hope that you will find the information that you need here.

A sampling of the information that will (eventually) be available on this site includes:

• Information about how to plan and build a garden of any size


• A straight forward assessment of the different gardening methods


• Information about organic gardening


• Information about growing in containers


• Plant profiles that summarize:

o When and How to grow each plant
o Potential pests/problems you may run into for each plant
o How to harvest your produce
o How to preserve any excess produce


• It’s my goal to provide as many pictures and as much descriptive information as I can in order to prevent guess work for you on your journey.

This site will continually be updated over time as I learn and grow and have time to add content, so check back frequently or subscribe to my blog to get notified of new content that has been added.

And may I welcome you all to the addictive journey that gardening becomes!
