Vegetable Garden Plans - The #1 Plan for Setting up a Desirable Organic Vegetable Garden
You know, vegetable garden plans are easy to find on the internet, but the problem is they are not presented in an easy to follow, step-by-step fashion.
I've plodded various gardening websites in search for tips or perhaps a blueprint for building my own vegetable garden in a beginner-friendly way.
Alas, most information I found online are somewhat vague and they are more focused on traditional gardening approach.
You see, I'm not interested in traditional vegetable gardening methods because they require too much work. I was actually looking for a few organic vegetable garden plans that follow the micro-ecosystem approach.
Why micro-ecosystem approach?
Well, this approach requires very little maintenance. You basically set up an organic vegetable garden that grows more food than traditional gardeningaand you don't have to work hard to maintain it.
By the way, you may follow this link for more information regarding this approach.

QUESTION:
vegetable garden plans?
does anyone know of a website that offers detailed plans for a vegetable garden????-
ANSWER:
I was looking for the same thing! Goggle companion planting and you will find good info on which plants to plant next to each other, but I never could find a good plan to use. Try drawing out your area and using the companion planting guides map out your own plan. Once you get started its actually not that hard to do. Plus you want to use a rotating plan and not plan the same plants on the same soil year after year. Different plants use different nutrients and have different diseases so rotating helps the soil replenish and keeps the bugs down. Its a good idea to have at least 3 years between plantings.
Good Luck!

Try www.GrowVeg.com - there's a free 30 day trial and it helps you draw out the garden area, then add vegetables, herbs and fruit. It automatically spaces the plants, calculates how many you require and will show when to sow, plant and harvest them for your area. There's also a feature which emails you reminders of when to sow and plant each crop.

ANSWER:
-- Tomatoes grow like weeds
-- Peppers are pretty easy if you have long warm summers
-- If you like green beans, then they are worth growing and are very easy. They have the advantage that they enrich the soil where you grow them.
-- If you have a wall or a trellis and can keep them well watered, try cucumbers.
-- If you live in a cooler climate, you can try lettuce and radishes, but they grow bitter if the summer is hot.
-- Don't forget to grow some herbs for flavoring, such as basil, mint, oregano, and thyme, which are all very easy.
