I live in an urbanized area so I have a very limited space for backyard gardening. I want to have an access to vegetables that are safe and nutritious, meaning 100% free from chemicals. What can I do? What vegetables can I start growing? Useful links will be appreciated. Thanks! :)
Buy some plant food, ask the Nursery staff what to get. There are all different types. And ask how often you should be feeding and watering the plants. SO once you are all organised get home, plant and wait for everything to grow. It sounds like a lot, but I find it fun and relaxing and so rewarding! Make sure you keep an eye on your plants. Don't forget about them. If they start to not look like they are going that well (e.g. going a funny colour, getting spots, being eaten by something) try and research what is causing this problem on google or at your nursey and you will be about to find a solution. Herbs are a great way to start! Tomatoes and things like spring onions and silverbeet are easy to grow, give them a shot! Good luck :)
In okorder /... As far as what vegetables you can grow... What do you like to eat? The only restrictions would be whether the season is long enough, and whether you get enough sun on the vegetable patch. Most vegetables need full day sun.
