Should I plant a vegetable garden?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

A vegetable garden can save money on groceries, provide fresher produce, and be a rewarding hobby. Start small with easy vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and herbs. South Jersey's growing season runs from April through October. Choose a sunny spot with good drainage and prepare the soil with compost. Even a few raised beds or containers can yield a surprising harvest.

Why It Matters

Growing your own vegetables gives you control over what goes into your food and connects you to where your food comes from.
