Choosing Seeds and Plants For Vegetable Gardens

Here are some seeds I have chosen to be the first plantings. 3 kinds of radishes, green onions and 2 types of lettuce.
These vegetables grow good in late May and can be harvested by the end of June. Lettuce can be cut with scissors and left to grow more for a second harvest and beyond.
Another way to utilize these seed they can be sowed in the same furrow. Plant lettuce, radishes and green onion all in the same row. Then harvest as each one matures. With this method getting a second harvest isnt a good idea because we want to let the next plant in line to grow good. So once a single plant mature harvest to let the other mature.

Growing Chives in Containers is So Easy

Containers are are a great way to grow herbs. You can do this anywhere you have sunshine. I have this container in my front yard. Ever year I had flowers but one day I had extra chive seeds. I just throw them in and watered. Now I have fresh chives for about 7 months a year. They go to seed couple times a year and keep coming back. I do cut the top off some of the chives so some stay longer as new one start.

I also will put other herbs in the pot. Basil, Parsley or any herb. Never buy chive cream cheese again.

This pot is steps out my door and serve as a kitchen herb garden all summer. When container gardening you need to watch the watering. Containers dry out fairly fast. Water at least every other day when container gardening.

This method is great as apartment and condo gardens.
