so he can get on with the planting and growing in early spring.
Before getting dirty hands decide Where ? ...

Will it be ...
... traditional home vegetable garden plot.
... will our gardener try raised bed gardening ?
... no dig gardening
... Or maybe container vegetable gardening ?
There is no right method ...
... The choice will be the best situation for us vegetables
and the gardener ...
... considering the available garden space.
All methods require lots of organic garden compost !
... Why plant these or those Vegetable Garden Seeds?
Our gardener plants the vegetables he likes to eat. Ouch!!
That's okay.
His favorite is the Growing Potatoes !
We vegetables appreciate the big fanfare on our arrival at the dinner table.
The gardener's wife knows some good vegetable recipies to comfort us.

when developing a winter vegetable garden design.

... Beginning vegetable gardening ... or an old pro ...
Read the back and front of the vegetable seed package.
Watching him assemble tools or garden structures ...
... our gardener does not read the instructions provided ......
... but we always see him reading the seed package !
Vegetable seed package information gives ...
... timing, seeding, growing, and harvesting information
Even then he has a problem with vegetable plant spacing.
He plants us too close together!
No garden plan !
Inter planting?
Sometimes he is a slow learner!
.

Do not go overboard.

including growing lettuce, carrots, radish, spinich, chard and beets.

... when growing tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, and eggplant.
Grow Garlic .. One of the easiest vegetables to grow ...

Growing Vegetables is not rocket science.
This is obvious, as our gardener is pretty good at growing vegetables.

in a backyard home vegetable garden ...

... so adapt the space, the soil and the vegetable growing method.

There will one in your neighborhood.
Ask him for gardening advice, how best to grow vegetables in this locale?
Although our gardener has many years experience gardening vegetables ...
..He still talks to others about ideas for growing vegetables ...
... bigger, better and more of us.
The ever changing tweaking of growing methods in a Home Vegetable Garden ...
... makes gardening vegetables interesting and fun.
... We have heard him speaking of plant combinations ... plant companions and ...
... more intensive planting in the new raised garden beds.
But more recently he has mentioned different planting zones ...
... apparently we are moving ...
... from plant hardiness zone 8a to 6a ... brrr
We vegetables will see what the future holds for us.
