The Essential Gardening Guide - Robert Donaldson
Foreword
Gardening is a very meaningful and rewarding hobby. Millions of people around the world grow some or all of their vegetables for consumption. There is a rapidly growing trend where homeowners everywhere are setting aside an area of their property to grow vegetables.
Gardening offers the opportunity to enjoy fresh air, sunshine and physical exercise—all important to improved health and vigor. While gardening may sometimes require physical effort, you do not have to grow acres of many varieties of vegetables to reap the rewards of gardening.
A small plot of a few square feet or even plant pots can be used to grow some of the most flavorful and nutritious vegetables you could imagine.
Many apartment dwellers have grown tomatoes, beans, carrots and a host of other vegetables in pots on a sunny balcony on windowsill. With a little creativity, you could be growing some fresh vegetables year round inside your home or apartment.
This guide is designed to provide information on some of the most popular and easiest vegetables to grow inside and outside in your garden.
We explore many areas of gardening from soil preparation to plant selection. Although growing seasons vary from region to region around the world. You can choose something to grow no matter where you might live.
I hope this essential gardening guide will prove helpful in your efforts to grow and enjoy the delicious flavor of home grown vegetables year round.
