Vegetable Gardening

brwag80 asked:


With a the recent problems of vegtables being recalled because of E. Coli contamination is there any way to help prevent my vegtables from being contaminated too? I know that E. Coli is a bacteria naturaly found in the digestive trac of animals. Since a lot of people use munure aren’t they at risk of an E. Coli contamination in thier gardens? Also E. Coli can be present in the water supply people are using to water their plants. Is the only way to know for sure to have my soil and water tested? So far the only recommendation I’ve found is to throughly wash vegetables before consumtion.

Tell me in short about your food gardening methods. With summer coming around, this is the perfect time to start a home vegetable garden.

I have never grow a vegetable garden before, but always helped with my mom’s when I was younger.

She’ll be helping me set it up but I wanted to do some research about what plants grow best down in South Florida.

There’s a bit of disagreement in our household. Hoping ya’ll can help. Hubby and I are planting our first vegetable garden this year. My dad and husband both say that we should plant our seeds in late April. I say mid to late May because of where we live it can frost in May. We live just under 2,000 feet in elevation in West Virginia.

It’s bad enough that the government must subsadize agriculture, but much of the workers are immigrants who get paid less than minimum wage. Like Phillippe Rodriguez who walked from Guatamala to Iowa to buy his son a new peg leg…Now that more people are using vegetable gardens, little Chavez will just have to limp his way to the plantation. Could Americans to learn to adjust their lifestyle and not be so selfish.

I had a gorgeous garden last year, and the deer ended up eating every single tomato, and most of the other vegetables. What they didn’t eat, they trampled on. I want to make sure it doesn’t happen again this year.
I can’t afford a fence, and my garden isn’t that big, and my yard itself is huge…

I am wanting to start a vegetable garden to help saving money. Is it too late in the year to start growing a garden? If it is not too late, what are the best vegetables to start growing now?

Babyblue asked:


Does anyone know of a sprinkler head that I can purchase that has some hoses I can spread out in my vegetable garden. I want to make sure my vegetables get watered everyday and I sometimes can’t because of my little one. I know there are bubblers out there, but I would like something that has like little hoses or maybe just a few hoses I can spread out to make sure all the roots are getting enough water.

Thanks for letting me know!
