vegetable garden plans?
does anyone know of a website that offers detailed plans for a vegetable garden????
Glenn answers:
I was looking for the same thing! Goggle companion planting and you will find good info on which plants to plant next to each other, but I never could find a good plan to use. Try drawing out your area and using the companion planting guides map out your own plan. Once you get started its actually not that hard to do. Plus you want to use a rotating plan and not plan the same plants on the same soil year after year. Different plants use different nutrients and have different diseases so rotating helps the soil replenish and keeps the bugs down. Its a good idea to have at least 3 years between plantings.
Good Luck!

Richard asks…
Vegetable garden plan?
My son has taken an interest in planting a vegetable garden. I think this is very worthwhile, but don’t want the yard to look horrible. Is there a downloadable program online that would allow us to “plan” the garden before it goes in?
Glenn answers:
Check out “gardeners@e-news.gardeners.com”. Great website and they have a planning page where they help you to map out your garden.
Ken asks…
Vegetable Garden planning software?
My son has taken an interest in planting a vegetable garden. Is there an online source with a downloadable program to design the project? I want to nurture his interest, but don’t want the yard to look horrible.
Glenn answers:
Try www.GrowVeg.com – there’s a free 30 day trial and it helps you draw out the garden area, then add vegetables, herbs and fruit. It automatically spaces the plants, calculates how many you require and will show when to sow, plant and harvest them for your area. There’s also a feature which emails you reminders of when to sow and plant each crop.
Good luck!
Linda asks…
I live near Baton Rouge, LA and am planning a vegetable garden this year. what seeds should I be sowing Now?
We are in zone 8-9 and our planting season begins around the middle of March. What seeds should I sew early so that they will be plants by the time I plant them? Thank you
Also is there any veggies that aren’t good for this area?
Glenn answers:
Try using the Jiffy ‘greenhouse’ that you can get at Wal-mart to start your seedlings. They run about $6 for a 72 cell pack, and you can start more plants more cheaply this way and different varieties also.. Plants that you can start that grow well in this zone include: tomatoes, okra, eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, herbs. A good source for seeds is Parks seeds (mail order). A good choice for tomatoes are the cherry type.
Donald asks…
Is using oatmeal in my vegetable garden a good idea?
I’m planning on planting a vegetable garden and I have a few pounds of oatmeal which expired for use a month ago. I was wondering if I mixed it in with the soil in the garden if that would help the soil, or if it would make it bad.
Glenn answers:
Could put it on top as mulch, and let it break down. Won’t cause any harm at all. Just a month past the date, eat it– the dates are to get people to buy more. If it tastes fresh it is fine. Oatmeal used to not have dates on it years ago since it keeps well for a long time.
