For some, growing vegetables is second nature, others might think growing your own vegetables is complicated. At Little Tree we know a lot about growing and harvesting delicious vegetables, and we like to share our passion with you. We do this by selecting the best vegetable seeds and all the tools and products you need to successfully grow your own vegetable garden.
Do I need a big garden to grow my own vegetables?
To enjoy homegrown organic vegetables, you don’t need a big garden. You can plant vegetable seeds in pots on your balcony, patio or even windowsill. With the right care, herbs and even vegetables like tomatoes, aubergine and carrots can grow in a small space!
Is it a lot of work to grow your own vegetables?
Another myth is that it is a lot of work to grow your own fresh vegetables. It doesn’t have to be! If you want to grow your own herbs to use while cooking and pick your own tomatoes, that is not a lot of complicated work. It’s fairly easy, and with the right garden tools, growing media and some tender, love and care, you’ll be enjoying your own kitchen garden in no time!
What vegetable seeds should I choose?
First of all, the ones you like best, but keep in mind the kind of garden or outdoor space you have available and how much time you have to tend to your vegetables. For Seed potatoes, you need a different space than for onion and garlic or Edamame beans! So make a plan, see when the vegetable seeds of your liking need planting and harvesting and how much room and time it will take to successfully grow them into delicious vegetables!
What do I need to grow my own vegetable garden?
So you have decided to grow your own organic veggies, now you might wonder what you need to be able to eat them in a few months! If you can’t grow your vegetables in full ground, but you’re planning to grow them in pots or planters, then that is where you’ll start with:
- Grow pots
- Vegetable seeds
- Growing media
- Plant feed
If you have a piece of garden you want to make into a vegetable garden, you might also want to think about the following:
- Pest & Disease control
- Weedkillers
- Plant support
- Garden tools
Depending on what kind of vegetables you are going to grow, for example, beans need support to be able to climb and some vegetables grow better in warmer circumstances. Then you might add to your list:
- Gardening essentials
- Greenhouse accessoires
- Watering
