It Isn't Too Late to Make Your Own Vegetable Garden!
by

I always try to get an early start on planting my vegetable garden each year, but that is just so I can have the satisfaction of watching everything grow. I live in the Northeast, so most of my plants don't start yielding a ton of veggies until July/August, so it isn't too late to go buy a few plants and begin a garden of your own!
I like to move my garden around to different locations each year, so first I had to find the perfect spot... I chose one side of my house in Pennsylvania that gets good sunlight but also has some pretty shaded spots too (from a few huge trees over there). It also helps that one of our hose-hookups to the house is like eight feet away from the "new spot." HINT: Try to keep that in mind when choosing your own location :) Here is a picture of the location before I created my garden (below).
I had a few plants (and some weeds) occupying the area already, so I cleared those out and then started to set up some various urns and planters to house my new vegetables! I already had most of the urns/planters, but one of my favorite new additions was from an old fire pit that my family and I had (even though we bought a new fire pit, I knew that I'd find a use for the old one)
Check out the "fir-pit-converted-into-cucumber-planter" above here!
After I had everything planted, I added a few fun decorations - like my stone bunnies and the fancy planting stakes you can see in the picture above.

Vegetables garden needs proper water, neutralists and sun light. We should also consider for its security and chain link fence can be a best option one of them: http://www.lahabrafence.com/chain-link-fencing.html
