Homegrown Vegetables

Tomatoes
In the first place, fresh, homegrown tomatoes are the reason why many gardeners enter
vegetable gardening. Nothing compares with eating a perfectly ripe tomato; you just got from
your garden. Tomatoes are also incredibly good for us; they are packed with lots of iron, niacin,
fiber, vitamins A, B6, C, magnesium, and potassium. They also constitute a great source of
antioxidant lycopene.

How to grow tomatoes in your yard
Plant tomatoes in containers: The size of containers varies depending on the type you plant. You
need at least 18 inches deep container to grow an indeterminate variety. Twelve inches is a good
depth for specified varieties, and 8 inches is perfect for dwarf or “patio” type tomatoes.

Note; One tomato plant per pot.
What to look out; for Tomato hornworm in certain places can be a concern — these big
caterpillars can be collected by hand if you see them. Watch out for signs of blight, which in
many parts of the United States is a real problem.

Beets

enjoy the greens. When added raw to a salad, young beet greens are delicious, and you can
sautee large beet greens as a quick side dish. The beetroots have very high iron, potassium, and
vitamin C content. Beet greens are also healthy, like iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc,
and vitamins A, B6, and C are strong.

their finest example; when they are about one and two inches long. They’re sweet and tender at
