Growing vegetables in your own garden provides fresh produce outside your back door. This makes it easier to incorporate more servings of vegetables as part of a healthy diet. Important tips below address garden location and soil testing that may lead to a more productive season.     

In planning the vegetable garden, select a site that receives direct sunlight for at least eight hours a day for best production. Avoid shading caused by trees and buildings. Vegetables grown in low light become leggy and do not produce very well. If partial shade is the only location available, you can grow lettuce.
