在秋天,这个季节最好的一些绿色蔬菜是在它们的高峰期:羽衣甘蓝、卷心菜、西兰花、菠菜等等。This garden plan is specifically for those veggies and having all yourfall veggies in one area这样收割和照顾它们就容易多了。
Seeds and starts for this garden plan should be planted mid to late summer in order to have a productive harvest before the first frost. There isn’t a specific size requirement for this plan, but in general, you’ll want to give your starts as much space as you can so they don’t get overcrowded as they grow.
When To Start Planning
It’s never too early or too late to begin planning new garden spaces. The ideal time to plan a vegetable garden is in the winter. I love to do my planning in a rocking chair in front of the woodstove. I pour over landscaping books and seed catalogs.
A plan makes your garden so much better. It is important to consider what you want to grow. You don’t want to grow food that no one will eat. Have a family meeting and take input on everyone’s favorite vegetable.
Set goals for yourself. For example, “This year I will grow 10 Rutgers tomatoes and make twenty quarts of spaghetti sauce.” Or, “I will use the square foot gardening method to have a 4-by-4 garden bed that will provide my family with fresh salads for summer.
You want your goal to be actionable and attainable. Don’t just write a goal that says “I will plant a 10-by-10 garden so we have fresh vegetables.” Make it more specific.
What’s A Good Size For A Vegetable Garden?
That is the million-dollar question, and I cannot answer it for you. Only you have the answer. Think about these factors.
你家有多少人?
One rule of thumb states the garden should be 100 square feet per person. A space that’s 10-by-10 feet is a good guideline for beginners.
你有多少时间花在你的花园?
Every garden requires work and maintenance. Your plants won’t grow themselves. For a garden that’s 100 hundred square feet, you will need to spend approximately 15 minutes per day doing garden chores. So not quite 2 hours a week.

That time may vary from week to week. One week you may get plenty of rain and that will cut down on watering. The next week you decide to rip out the spent spinach bed and replant it with summer squash. That may take a bit longer.
每个人100平方英尺的好处是它仍然是一个可控的面积。如果你的花园更大,它可能有问题,你会感到沮丧。
How many vegetable dishes does your family eat every week?
蔬菜是你家里的配菜还是主菜?如果你遵循纯素饮食,你可能比一般的杂食者吃更多的蔬菜。
Do you want to have fresh vegetables and also preserve vegetables for winter?
If you are planning to preserve food and can things like spaghetti sauce and salsa, or freeze beans, you will need to add an additional 50 square feet per person. The additional space will giveroom for extra plantsfor canning.
Vegetables That Are Ideal For Raised Beds
Raised beds are perfect for all types of gardening. All vegetables thrive in raised beds, and raised beds allow you to tailor your soil to meet the needs of the plants.
When choosing soil for your raised bed, don’t just fill it with dirt. Fill your raised bed with lightweight potting soil, compost, peat moss, leaf litter, and maybe some vermiculite. It will allow your plants to spread their roots and grow quickly.

You can also modify the soil to meet the needs of specific plants. For instance, when growing root crops in a raised bed, carrots appreciate a bit of wood ash or sand to help them grow long, straight, and delicious.
Another advantage of raised beds is that you don’t have to stoop and bend as much. In fact, you can build a raised bed on legs that you access by standing or from a wheelchair. And because you are using light soil, you could even move it around a patio.
Take the time to ogle garden designs and make plans. The time you spend doing some research now will save you time and effort when it comes to planting season.
