When my dad was still in good health he would plant a big vegetable garden. He grew corn, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, and lots of others
Check with your local garden center, nursery, or local gardeners as to when your last hard frost occurs most years, and sow seeds the week after that date, or plant vegetable plants a couple weeks or so after the last expected frost. *hint* You can speed up the seed germination process by presoaking hard seeds in a container of water for about 8 hrs. or so before planting them! It won't work with softer seeds, like beans, etc., though.FreeSpiritGirl said:I would like to start my own vegetable garden. Can you tell me when, where and what to plant? I live in NE Ohio, which means we get a lot of snow early spring, but after that, the weather is very pleasant.

Ataradrac said:I always have a veggie garden, although this year we're cutting down the size of it because of the amount of time it takes for maintenance. But insterad, we're going to plant fruit shrubs in its place, so we won't totally lose out on the yummy.
Last year we planted tomatoes, kidney beans, green beans, sugar snap peas, brussel sprouts, squash, peppers potatoes and sunflowers.
This year we're looking at doing tomatoes, sugar snap peas, broccoli, edaname soybeans, green beans, and sunflowers. The broccoli will probably be grown in containers.

Down in the rural South we use discarded egg cartons (our local grocer gives us the big sheets if we want em) covered with plastic wrap (The cheap kind at the $ store). Poke holes in it w/toothpick in a few days and you get the same deal--that you do not have to store year after year.
