It is a small-scale form of vegetable growing. A vegetable garden typically includes a compost heap and several plots or divided areas of land, intended to grow one or two types of plant in each plot. Many families have home kitchen and vegetable gardens that they use to

Question by **♥purdy-lil-thang♥**: what fruits can I grow here, and anyone has some gardening tips?
I live in Montana, and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of fruits and veggies would I be able to grow in my area?

Also, if anyone had any gardening tips that would be great! I am planing on growing strawberries and rasberries (any tips on those), but if anyone knew of some others that could grow here that would be great.

This is our first time growing a garden, any tips or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey Katerbear B,

Apples, Peaches, Plums should all grow in your area – be sure to get trees suited to your zone. 3a-4b depending on what part of Montana you live in.

For Vegetables, the principle of germination time plus growing to harvest time must be more than your number of non-freeze days.

Or, you can start the vegies inside. You should be able to grow summer squash, carrots, tomato, beets, herbs, and a bunch of other stuff.

Read a lot, you are in a short season area. Happy Gardening.

I really enjoy the Old Farmer’s Almanac!

http://www.almanac.com/

They have wonderful information on a variety of things, an excellent weekly newsletter, and you can submit questions to them and they typically answer back very fast! There is everything from general care to planting dates for all kinds of vegetables! You can even preset it to your specific area, (sign up with them..but they don’t overload you with spam!)
I absolutely love this site!

I live in the south texas area, and i just moved into a new home with a huge back yard! I would love to have a nice big kitchen garden.. we have already started planting tomatoes and jalapenos and okra… but what else grows in texas??? Is there maybe a website out there that will tell me what to grow and when to grow it? and maybe how to tell when its all ready to be picked? That would be awesome. Thanks <3

Tamatoes
Carrots
Potatoes

Fruits take a long time to grow, so I’d go with planting veges instead.

Do I have to buy an juicing machine? If so, does anyone know of a good, cheap model? Is there a more cost efficiant way to juice using things I already have in my kitchen?

Answer by gomanyes562
A lot of fruits can be chopped up and juiced in a blender. It will turn out more like a smoothie than a juice, but it’s the same type of thing.
