garden, that can be both beautiful and delicious. 2. Make a quick list of your favorite herbs.3. Look at the list and see if they are all related to a

specific theme. 4. May be you find that your garden favorites are all

manageable as an indoor garden. 5. May be your favorites are all healing herbs. Once you

narrow down your choices, you can then focus on finding the best specimens available.

Vegetables Kitchen Gardening

What is vegetable Kitchen gardening?

Gardening vegetables is one of the many past time activities that people indulge in. Apart from being entertaining, these are profitable, as the garden later provides you with some excellent home grown vegetables. However, before plunging into the activity of gardening vegetables, you need to make sure of certain factors.

The place or site you choose should receive 6-8 hours of sunlight a day and also it should be near to a water supply.

Purpose of kitchen Gardening The main purpose of a kitchen garden is to

provide food for the family. To save the amount incurred on kitchen

vegetables. The saving so made is utilized for other beneficial

purposes. In ancient times, kitchen gardens were the sole

source of food in a mainly vegetarian diet. In the modern era, the kitchen garden

supplements the food budget and provides balanced nutrition in a hurried, ready-made-meal world.

Kitchen Gardening Serve as The kitchen garden may serve as the central

feature of an ornamental, all-season landscape, or it may be little more than a humble vegetable plot.

It is a source of herbs, vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers, but it is often also a structured garden space with a design based on repetitive geometric patterns.

The kitchen garden has year-round visual appeal and can incorporate permanent perennials or woody shrub plantings around (or among) the annuals.

cost less. 2. Home Grown Vegetables are Healthier 3. You Know What Has Been Put On Them 4. Home Grown Vegetables and Herbs Taste Better 5. Growing Your Own Vegetables is Satisfying 6.Austhetic value 7.Hobby 8. Exercise 9. You can grow fruits , vegetables and herbs on your own choice

Vegetable juicesThe juices extracted from fresh raw vegetables are highly beneficial as they furnish all the cells and tissues of the body with the elements and the nutritional enzymes which they need. Vegetable juices may be divided into three main types. These are (i) Juices from vegetable fruits, that is, tomatoes and cucumber (ii) Juices from green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach and parsley and (iii) Juices from root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato and radish

Mushroom Production

Mushrooms are fungi, and are usually placed

in a Kingdom of there own apart from plants and animals.

Mushrooms contain no chlorophyll and most are considered saprophytes. That is, they obtain

their nutrition from metabolizing non living organic matter. This means they break down and

"eat" dead plants, like your compost pile does.

Tips for Getting Started1.Start small and expand gradually. Smaller gardens are easier to manage, especially for those without much experience. As a gardener gains experience they can gradually expand their garden.2. Protect the garden with a stick enclosure to shelter it from wind, cold, and animals.3. Keep soil covered with mulch or ground cover to protect against erosion and moisture loss.4. Start collecting materials (manure, bones, weeds, ash, grass, urine) to make Compost early, and continuously nourish the soil.5. Where water is scarce or access is limited, use wastewater and harvest rainwater to irrigate.6. Plant only a little at a time but plant often, to ensure continuous production.7. Aim to feed the family first, then look for a market. With good water and crop management, one will be able to sell when it is dry and prices are high.8. Be creative, and experiment with new techniques.9. Try to work the garden daily. Make it a habit, even if just for a few minutes each day. Working in the garden helps to monitor the progress and identify problems early.10. Ask Federal Ministry of Agriculture and other extension workers for advice
