How Do You Choose Vegetable Seeds For The Garden?
Picking out seeds for your vegetable garden can be as much fun as enjoying the produce in the fall. Just follow these steps. Decide how big the vegetable garden will be and how much space you can dedicate to each vegetable. Choose seeds based on how much area they need to grow. Determine this by reading directions on the seed packet; they should indicate how much space is required between plants and rows. Pick bush varieties of vegetable seeds if building a trellis will be too much work. Green beans and cucumbers are common bush vegetables. Plan to build a trellis or fence area if you want to plant pole beans or peas. Climbing vegetables are easier to harvest and the trellis makes a lovely addition to the vegetable garden. Choose zucchini and other squash seeds only if the garden is large enough. These vines will take over the garden if there is not enough space. Buy vegetable seeds packed for the current year’s growing season. The date is stamped on the bottom or back of the seed pack
