Vegetable Gardens

When making a vegetable garden make use of as much space as possible. Notice the tall hardy tomato plants, the most common vegetable/fruit found in the garden of any neighborhood.

Red leaf lettuce is a fairly hardy, cool weather vegetable.  It thrives the most when temps are between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  They should be planted early spring and/or late summer.  Harvest them as soon as the leaves are large enough for eating.  They can not stand extreme hot weather and will stop growing during those times.

Green leaf lettuce is the same as the red leaf lettuce.  Both are great for salads and have a nice delicate sweet flavor. When harvesting, pick every other leaf, so there is more room for growth. Once picked, the leaves can be washed off, dripped dried, wrapped in a damp paper towel, and placed in a plastic bag in the fridge.  This will make your lettuce leaves nice and crisp for your next salad or sandwich.

Green peppers will grow plentiful in a sunny location, and watered when needed.
