Planting Tips and Ideas

Planting season is here! Now, let’s find some easy short cuts for planting your gardens. Today I would like to show you how I plant some of my gardens. I reuse a lot of things from year to year to keep cost down. As you already know, I love to plant a lot of gardens and grow a lot of produce. Summer is my favorite time of the year. I love to be outside in my gardens and enjoying the sun. Gardening is a fun and fulfilling hobby of mine. Plus I love having fresh fruits and vegetables year round. I spent 4 hours planting two gardens today, and I would like to show you some planting tips.

Here are some things you will need:

Scissors, Christmas stakes (the ones that hold your lights outside), yarn, a hoe, and your seeds.
I buy the Christmas stakes after Christmas at 50% to 75% off and use these to mark my rows .I use these stakes year after year until they break. These make great markers for your rows. I then take my yarn and tie them to my stakes to make an even straight line for your rows.


Next, I take my hoe and run it under my line to make a straight row for planting. Start planting your seeds and then cover them up.




As you can see I have a lot of potatoes to plant. All these potatoes came from last year stock. We could not eat them fast enough, so I let them spout and now I have free potatoes to plant. When planting Potatoes, make a big hole and place the potato in the ground with the stem pointing up. Cover your potatoes and make a big hill around your potatoes. This gives your potatoes room to grow. After everything is planted water your gardens good.




Have fun being outside working in your gardens and enjoy the weather. I hope some of these tips help you with your gardens from Suzie Homemaker.
