"Planting a Vegetable Garden: Part I"

This show is all about the basics of planting a vegetable garden. From selecting the right spot, to tilling the soil, to laying out your rows, and then finally planting all those beautiful seeds! It can be hard work depending on how big you plan on making your garden, but believe me the pay off is worth it. When you see those fresh, gorgeous vegetables that you grew yourself, you will feel so proud! And the taste is out of this world!! (Not to mention the money you will save!) Today's veggie planting includes Peppers, tomatoes and green beans. All favorites here in the south.

"Planting a Vegetable Garden: Part II"

On this show, I  finish up planting my  vegetable garden by planting Corn, Okra, Cucumbers and Squash. These are all garden staples here in the south. The choice of corn is a popular one called Silver Queen. I also like Peaches and Cream as well. The Okra is a special favorite in our house because of all the fried okra I get to make throughout the year!  And nothing tastes like fresh crisp cucumbers right out of the garden! You can also use these to make your very own pickles! So get out those hoes and tillers and plant yourself your very own vegetable garden. You have no excuse now that you know how!
