• Locate a place in your own lawn where the sun always shines and start placing the seeds in early spring. Also keep planting the seeds all through summer so that you can always be ready to harvest one thing or another. Find your best spot close to the kitchen so that you can easily run to get a vegetable to two. Plus in this manner you can always keep an eye on your vegetable garden so you can get the right vegetable out at the right time.
• Always soak the seeds before planting as before germinating the seeds really need to be soaked and need to drink a lot of water. Once the seeds get swollen and plump the embryo in the seed starts to grow. Always keep in mind to soak the seeds in room temperature water for a few hours but never ever leave them in too long. Drain the seed and then plant them immediately.
• Always cover the newly planted vegetables with a water filled tepee to protect them from the cold. Such inexpensive sheets can easily be bought at any gardening store or nursery. These sheets are then connected with tubes which are then filled with water. This forms a wall around the seeds keeping them warm. The plastic sheet walls let the sun pass inside also keeping the water warm throughout the night.
• Rather than buying small seeds try getting larger seeds which already have a spout coming out, especially for the fast results during the winter season. This strategy is a great option with the tender type of vegetables such as chili peppers, tomatoes or beef steaks as these types of vegetables take a longer time to ripen.

While purchasing such seeds from a nursery try looking for vegetable plants that have a strong and well developed root system as well as others which have a sturdy constitution especially with green healthy leaves. Always avoid overgrown seeds.

• Always plant the vegetable plants vertically to save space instead of letting them crawl everywhere across the garden, for this you could use an arbor or a trellis.

While there are many other vegetable garden tips these are some of the main things that every gardener should keep in mind.
