Vegetable Gardening Information

Spring Fever - The time is right, the weather is co-operating. Have your thoughts turned to the garden yet? Latter-Day Prophets have encouraged us to grow a garden. It's not too late to start.

If you don't know where to begin or just want some new ideas, you can watch a video, plan and get good information on gardening from the Provident Living website. http://www.providentliving.org/channel/0,11677,6637-1,00.html

For those of you who missed the Vegetable Gardening class the other night at Enrichment. I am going to post some of that information here.

One popular idea is that of companion planting. The Three Sisters Planting Guide tells you how to interplant your corn, beans and squash in the same mounds. It's beneficial to grow these three together - both for you and for the plants. To learn more http://www.reneesgarden.com/articles/3sisters.html

Note: On the Companion Planting Guide I handed out in class - cabbage was listed as both a good and a bad companion for tomatoes. OOPS! Cabbage is actually a BAD companion for tomatoes, so please do not plant them next to each other.
