**The best vegetable garden planting guide for your area is what plants they are selling at your local garden center**

If you use this vegetable garden planting guide you won't go wrong as the people in your local garden center should know your area. They will know what varieties are best suited for the area and

the best time to plant them and they will be selling them. I have found they are very helpful so it pays to be friends with your local garden center. As a lot of free advice about your local area comes in handy.

All plants need just sunlight and water to grow so the problem with plants is they will grow as soon as they get wet and the sun comes out.

So keep seeds that are not ready to plant away from the garden. If they are planted too early the frost could get them and if they are too late, again the frost will get them. When you get good at vegetable gardening and you have your own vegetable garden planting guide hanging on the wall in the garage, then it is time to plant earlier or later.

If you are just starting out stick to what is being sold in your garden center.

Take them home and stick them in the ground. If you have a snail and slug problem and who hasn’t, cut the bottom off the clear plastic drinking water bottles and stick the neck of the bottle in the ground with the plant growing inside the bottle. This will stop the slugs eating the new seedling before they get big enough to survive. You will have to remove the bottle before the plant gets too big. So for a vegetable garden planting guide just use what they are selling in your local garden center.
