Vegetable gardening is an empowering activity for people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you have a few containers, a community garden plot, or a large "country" garden, you can supply your family and friends with nutritious vegetables for 6 to 9 months of the year. Vegetable gardening is terrific exercise and can help reduce household food expenses.

- Plan your garden,
- Select your site,
- Prepare your soil,
- Plant your crops, and
- Take care of your garden.
