Planning to grow vegetables in large scale, in a small patch or room depends upon our space availability. If planning to sell vegetables which we grow our own then it's better to choose large area and cultivate different types of vegetables. Or planning to grow for kitchen use then we can use the space which we have in our backyard. We can also grow most of the vegetables in containers if room is of a premium.

Manure: Using best manures and fertilizer helps in the best growth of the plant.

Soil : Whatever the soil type may be it all depends how it's well rotted manure, compost and also leafmoulded. The best time for soil preparation is in autumn for clay soils and spring for light and sandy soils.

Water: For healthy, strong growth and the highest yields of the best crops plants need a constant supply of water at the roots. Plants growing in containers need more supply of water and we have to water the container crops once or even twice a day in summer to prevent them drying out. Remember that plenty of water is vital for healthy growth and cropping. When a plant goes short of water it stops growing and makes seed prematurely or just dies. It is not best to use very cold water for crops such as runner beans and the most seedlings. Always use fresh tap water, water stored in water pots may contain pathogens that could affect seedling growth.

Positioning: Majority of vegetables grows where there is a sufficient fall of sun rays. The vegetables such as peas and spinach grows where there is shady. For peppers choose the area which can protect those from strong winds.

Apart from using the pesticide it is better to cover plants with horticultural fleece which will prevent some insect pests and birds reaching the plants. It's important to ensure the edges of the fleece are buried in the soil to prevent contact and that the fleece is loosely held over the plants so that it can move.

Better sunlight, proper soil, good manures, free from pests helps in growing of healthy vegetables in our garden and makes us feel so happy when we taste those. Hence , we all should try to plant at least a single vegetables in our garden. Planting vegetables helps to keep the environment healthy and also helps in economy.
