Planting A Vegetable Garden Box
When planting a vegetable garden box, you will want to make sure to use a good quality soil mix. You can either make your own mix or purchase a premade mix from a store. The mix should be high in organic matter and should also include some type of fertilizer.
When planting your vegetables, you will want to make sure to space them out properly. Follow the instructions on the seed packet to determine how far apart to plant the seeds. You will also want to make sure to plant them at the correct depth.
Once your vegetables are planted, you will need to water them regularly. Vegetables need at least an inch of water per week to grow properly. You can either water them by hand or use a hose.
If you are using a garden box, you will also need to fertilize it regularly. You can either use a premade fertilizer or make your own. A good fertilizer mix should include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

What Are Good Pollinator Plants For Vegetable Garden
?
When it comes to gardening, pollinators are key to a successful harvest. Pollinators are the insects and animals that transfer pollen from the male organ or stamen of a flower to the female organ or pistil. This process is necessary for the plant to produce fruit or seed. There are many different types of pollinators, but bees are the most common.
Bees are attracted to brightly-colored flowers, so it’s important to include a variety of pollinator plants in your garden. Some good pollinator plants for a vegetable garden include:
• Bee balm
• Black-eyed Susan
• Cosmos
• English lavender
• Joe Pye weed
• Lobelia
• Milkweed
• Nasturtium
• Purple coneflower
• Snapdragon
• Sunflower
• Sweet alyssum
• Verbena
Bee balm, black-eyed Susan, cosmos, English lavender, Joe Pye weed, lobelia, milkweed, nasturtium, purple coneflower, snapdragon, sunflower, and sweet alyssum are all annuals, so they will need to be replanted each year. However, they are worth the effort, as they will attract bees and other pollinators to your garden.
Milkweed, nasturtium, and purple coneflower are also perennial plants, which means they will come back year after year. They are great for attracting pollinators to your garden, but they also have other benefits. Milkweed is the host plant for the monarch butterfly, nasturtium is a edible flower, and purple coneflower is a medicinal herb.
Including a variety of pollinator plants in your garden is the best way to ensure a successful harvest. Not only will they help pollinate your plants, but they will also provide beauty and interest to your garden.
Planting Winter Wheat In Vegetable Garden
Winter wheat can be a valuable addition to the home garden, providing a cover crop to suppress weeds and add organic matter to the soil, as well as a food crop in its own right. The best time to plant winter wheat is in the fall, after the harvest of the summer vegetables but before the first frost.
Prepare the soil by digging in some compost or other organic matter to improve the fertility and tilth. Winter wheat can be planted by broadcasting the seed evenly over the surface of the soil and then raking it in. You can also sow the seed in rows, spacing the plants about six inches apart. Water the soil well after planting, and keep it moist until the seeds germinate.
In most cases, the winter wheat will germinate and grow well in the cool weather of fall. The plants will provide a weed-suppressing mulch and will begin to add organic matter to the soil. In the spring, the wheat will begin to flower and will eventually produce grain. The grain can be harvested and used fresh or stored for use later in the year.
Plant A Christian Vegetable Garden Poem
I
n our Christian garden, we sow the seeds of love
and forgiveness, and we cultivate compassion and peace.
We grow tomatoes and cucumbers, carrots and lettuce,
beans and peas, and all kinds of Christian vegetables.
Our garden is a place where we can come to pray

It is a place where we can come to connect with God
and with each other, and to share in the harvest of love.
