Growing a vegetable garden

Fresh Vegetables ImageStarting, growing and caring for a vegetable garden is a lot easier than you may think.  Nature does most of the work for us.  My goal is to show you just how easy it can be by "keeping it simple".  Sunlight, nutrients, water, weed and insect control are some of the things we'll cover both on the site and in our videos.  Although I try to use as few chemicals as possible this is not 100% organic gardening.

We'll sometime cover other subjects such as Canning and freezing vegetables, Cajun cooking, equipment maintenance, gardening tools and a few homemade items that make the job just a little easier.

Tomato Row

Another wet spring took over a week of tilling to get these two rows ready for planting.  First pass with the tiller was only approx. 2 inches deep then each day after that a little deeper until I was able to lower the tiller all the way down without bringing up clogs of wet dirt. 

 

Tilled Garden

This area was tilled and fertilized with 13-13-13 getting it ready to plant a few hills of Cantaloupe.  It would also be a good spot for sweet corn.
