What Vegetables Should I Grow?
 
For your vegetable garden, there are many options for what to grow. Most starter plants, which you can purchase at local garden centers and greenhouses, allow you to begin a garden without much difficulty. With the Vegetable Garden Digital Library, you can get advise as a novice garderner about growing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and various herbs.
 
Want to Grow More?
The Vegetable Garden Digital Library focuses on a few specific vegetables. Many other plants can be grown in the same way as we advise, and once you use the tips provided in this digital library, you will be ready to start. All you have to do is ask your local gardener to give you some information on how to grow the vegetables you select. Make sure you ask about care and harvesting. Also, check out our resources page for more information about vegetable gardening and caring for plants beyond what is offered in this digital library.
