Vegetables Kitchen Gardening

Gardening vegetables is one of the many past time activities that people indulge in. Apart from being entertaining, these are profitable, as the garden later provides you with some excellent home grown vegetables.

However, before plunging into the activity of gardening vegetables, you need to make sure of certain factors.

The place or site you choose should receive 6-8 hours of sunlight a day and also it should be near to a water supply.

The main purpose of a kitchen garden is to provide food for the family.

To save the amount incurred on kitchen vegetables.

The saving so made is utilized for other beneficial purposes.

In ancient times, kitchen gardens were the sole source of food in a mainly vegetarian diet.

In the modern era, the kitchen garden supplements the food budget and provides balanced nutrition in a hurried, ready-made-meal world.

The kitchen garden may serve as the central feature of an ornamental, all-season landscape, or it may be little more than a humble vegetable plot.

It is a source of herbs, vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers, but it is often also a structured garden space with a design based on repetitive geometric patterns.

The kitchen garden has year-round visual appeal and can incorporate permanent perennials or woody shrub plantings around (or among) the annuals.

Vegetable juices may be divided into three main types. These are (i) Juices from vegetable fruits, that is, tomatoes and cucumber (ii) Juices from green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach and parsley and (iii) Juices from root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato and radish
