Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Richard aka twisterphotos here.  I too felt overwhelmed at times about my garden
especially since in Texas we can have both a spring and fall garden.  So, I sat
down one day and made up a schedule of what I need to do each month as far as
projects for my garden, yard, trees, and flowers are concerned.  Moreover,
during the summer, when I am not working, I devote two hours in the morning to
my garden  and when I am back at work teaching I devote the first hour at home.
What I get done, I get done. 

Just my thoughts

Hello Rae,

I felt the same way about my garden for several years. In February, I decided
that this would be the year to sacrifice and establish my gardens again. It has
been a trial but I've done it. Here is what I've learned.

1. Do only what you can do and hire in what you can't. Out of school boys can
work for next to nothing.
2. Start small and work one area at a time. Do it well so you don't have to
spend too much time weeding or watering.
3. Group like plants in one area so all will require your attention at the same
time. Not the same plant but the same needs.
4. Dedicate a time slot for the garden and don't deviate, even if it is too hot.
If rainy- oh well- enjoy your tea while watching your garden grow.

Enjoy.

Hi - I'm a new member with a big out of control garden that I need to get
enthusiastic about again. Any tips for fitting gardening in amongst working,
shopping, cooking and all that other stuff you do...? Main gardening activity
over the last few years seems to have been 'picking flowers' and moving the
trampoline around.
