10 tips for having a vegetable garden

I decided this year that we would have a garden again. Not too many different things, just easy and simple... Here are some things that I'll have to remember for next year: 1. 4 rows of BEANS is just TOO much, even if half is green and the other half is yellow... 2. If there are 'different' colors of seeds, it means that there is a different kind of vegetable involved 3. Tomatoes do not turn red when not in a sunny spot 4. Only 4 out of the 50 tomatoes that do grow in the sun, will turn red 5. 3 rows of Cherry tomatoes is just not such a good idea 6. Think about what to do with thousands of cucumbers, BEFORE you plant them 7. remember that it's not just picking the vegetables, you also have to actually do something with them so you can enjoy them all winter long 8. Be ready to have your house being taken over by tomatoes so they can lay in your windowsills and turn red instead of green or black 9. Pick the beans before the rain season starts, even if that means picking them in 37C 10. If you do not follow up on number 9, you end up with muddy beans Now here's hoping that next year I will remember my own 10 tips! The picture is not even half of what came and still has to come out of the garden...
