Each vegetable is different. If you want to grow a combination of different vegetables, you ought to take advantage of the environment, to suit the needs of those plants. For instance, Watercress grows in damp soil and carrots needs a lot of sun. The carrot should be planted in the spring and the fall. The soil should be deeply tilled for carrots and other tubers. Cucumbers thrive in almost all the types of soil and require 6-8 hours of sun. Different vegetables require different climatic conditions, to grow. Even, the different varieties of the same vegetable need different handling methodology, environmental elements and care. Thus, it is not possible to create an e-book which talks about all the vegetables and its varieties and the methods of growing them effectively. This chapter talks about the basic ideas and rules to be followed to successfully grow healthy vegetables in the backyard.
