The Organic Vegetable GardenGardens in the San Juan Islands The San Juan Islands Washington are a perfect spot for an organic vegetable garden. Local gardeners benefit from the mild climate with a huge abundance and variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Given a good sunny spot, the excellent soil, and a bit of pest prevention, it's possible to have an outstanding array of colors and produce for many months out of the year. Good planning is a must, as there are many environmental conditions to consider -- slugs, snails, and deer, for example. Tall secure fences are clearly necessary to keep out the deer, crucial if you intend to make any type of harvest. Methods for avoiding slugs and snails are more unique, specific to the personal gardener (though a deep bowl of beer is a common remedy, as the slugs want in but they can't get out!).Just get out there, turn over a little plot of dirt, throw some seeds in there, and let things grow. Satisfaction guaranteed.  If you're interested in growing vegetables, garden-planting-tips.com is a great resource for beginner gardeners to learn how to grow a successful vegetable garden. Also, visit Avant-Gardening: Creative Organic Gardening, a site that tells all about Organic Gardening: What you need to know to grow a pest-resistant organic garden and how to make it sustainable over time. Look at this lovely site about Shade Gardens where you will find ideas and plans to design and create beautiful, shade gardens. How appropriate for our Island climate! Plus, consider Home Hydroponics, which shows you how to grow most any kind of plant without soil. Return to Simply San Juan from Organic Vegetable Garden. |
