Vegetable Garden For many people in the
mid-west, vegetable gardens are a link to "old-fashioned" life as
well as a source of fresh produce. Our Vegetable garden was
started in the fall of 2005 by preparing the plot.

Spring 2006 We selected a
very small list of things we wanted to grow based on the
following criteria:
1. There must garden space.
(Many vine plants like cucumbers and melons were excluded because
they take a lot of space.)
2. It must be something we enjoy eating when fresh. (We like
very small yellow and zucchini squash, love to make summer pizza
with fresh tomatoes and onions, like to have things to make homemade
salsa, etc.)

An easy and
quick growing annual. Edible leaves to spice up salads. A
companion plant that helps to ward off insect pests.
Thrives best in poor and dry soils. Fast growing and can
be directly seed into your garden. Sow seeds after the
last frost date for your area. Keep the soil dry and they
will grow well.
