Louisiana OnionsGrowing a Vegetable Garden

There's just no comparison between home grown vegetables vs. Supermarket produce.  You just can't beat a slice of fresh tomato on a ham sandwich, corn on the cob or freshly picked snap beans.  Having vegetables year round is a lot easier than you may think.  Your garden can be grown just about anywhere from several acres to just a few plants on the patio.  The outcome will be the same fresh, tasty, home grown vegetables for the table. 

Can you remember what a tomato is supposed to taste like?

Vegetable Garden Compost PileCompost Pile for next year's vegetable garden.

Low Tech - Low Maintenance / Using a combination of compost and potting soil to start my seedlings has worked out pretty well for me.

 

Blue Lake Snap Beans (Pole)

Blue Lake Pole BeansUsing "T" post and crop netting to support my Blue Lake Pole Beans.  Planted 1400 row feet and expecting 1000+ lbs. of snap beans.  That's a lot of picking.

Plant spacing is approx 12" apart.  Pole beans will produce more beans over a longer period of time than the bush type.  Much easier to pick as well. 

Check out the video page to watch how to support your pole beans.

The Broccoli behind my grandson Dylan is almost as tall.
