garden-ideasYour garden-ideas will depend on a number of factors: *The part of the country you live in *Your likes and dislikes of vegetables and fruits you like to eat *How much room you have to grow a garden *Whether you want a raised bed garden *If you want to use containers to grow some of your garden in *The condition of the ground you will plant your garden in. When I was just a toddler we moved to Rexburg, Idaho a year after the big flood of 1975. Our lot had been devestated by the flood, and contained only flood silt and sand. My folks had to build up the ground with manure and compost. Of course fresh manure took a year to break down, so our first garden was a disaster. Our corn was barely 18 to 20 inches tall, with no cobs of corn. The second year, after the manure had decomposed, our corn was 6 feet tall. So you can understand that the ground you plant in is very important. Growing a garden takes attention to fertilizing and continual watering. Usually gardens need full sun too. I heard of a woman digging up the ground under a walnet tree. She had beautiful foilage, but no tomatoes and little other produce. Later, she told me, that she learned that it's not good to have a garden under a walnut tree because walnuts do something to the ground so they won't produce. Knowledge becomes a very key point in growing a garden. So probably the best advice I'd give you for obtaining garden-ideas, would be to read as much as you can about all phases of gardening, before you start your garden so you'll have a good experience the first time.
