Hello everybody I am David Rodriquez, horticulturist with Texas Agricultural Extension service
on behalf of Expert Village and we are going to show you some gardening steps in preparing
your vegetable garden for the spring planting. Location, location, location one of the first
steps that you need to do in getting your vegetable garden ready for the springtime
or getting a new vegetable garden started is no shade trees. Vegetables need to be in
eight to ten hours of all day full sun. Don’t let the vegetables or vegetable garden compete
against the root system of the tree, which can go two times out from the main canopy
of the tree or from the shade of the tree. All vegetables that have fruit or seeds in
them need full sun. Now some vegetables such as cauliflower, spinach or your root crops
can take a little bit less sun, four to six hours, well all vegetables will be happy.
So the first step is location, location, location, don’t be planting your vegetable garden
in a shady location.
