Home Vegetable Gardening

A Complete And Practical Guide To The Planting And Care Of Vegetables, Fruits And Berries

Preface

With some, the home vegetable garden is a hobby; with others, especially in these days of high prices, a great help. There are many in both classes whose experience in gardening has been restricted within very narrow bounds, and whose present spare time for gardening is limited. It's as "first aid" to such persons, who want to do practical, efficient gardening, and do it with the least possible fuss and loss of time. Too often garden books, while seldom lacking in information, often do not present it in the clearest possible way.

It's the aim of this site to first of all be practical, and in addition to that, though comprehensive, yet simple and concise. If it helps to make the way of the home gardener more clear and definite, its purpose will have been accomplished.

Many of the suggested varieties within this site are available thru catalogs and if a variety or a company is not available in your area, we suggest checking with your local seedman (or plant nursery) for a similar variety or company.

Online search engines will also provide you with comments and information pertaining to the varieties mentioned within this site. We've done our best to use the most up to date or classic types of plants for the best results and hope you enjoy everyone of them!
