Before you start your garden in your yard, it is important to consider the initial startup costs. These costs will be recouped over time as you enjoy your own vegetables. The initial investment will depend on your specific garden plan and a variety of factors such as materials used, garden size, and specific crops. Before heading to your local garden center, here are the costs to keep in mind when you grow vegetables for the first time:
Seeds and Seedlings
The cost of seeds will vary due to seed quality, variety, and specific supplier. Do you want to grow cucumbers? Radishes? Zucchini? Garlic? Each of these veggies have distinctive characteristics. Therefore, you will want to identify what vegetables are best for your local climate and soil.
If you can afford to, starter transplants will save considerable time and effort and help improve your yield. These young plants are usually found at a local nursery or farm. You also can start your vegetables directly from seed. The seed packet will have information about how to best grow and care for the plant.
