Semillas de hortalizas

When I want to know about a vegetable, I want real, useful information. The Vegetable Seeds profiles that follow will help you know each Vegetable Seed well. I will try to take you from the seed to harvest, and as you read you will learn about each vegetable's needs, as well as how it affects and is affected by others. In the end hopefully you will gain knowledge about each vegetable and how it interacts with other vegetables, helping you become as much a part of the garden as the plants you grow.For those of you that save your seeds look for the OP which means that it is Open Pollinated. We do NOT sell any genetically altered seeds or GMO seeds

An exception to this rule is the tomato family. Some tomato family plants include tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and peppers. Both tomatoes and potatoes grow well next to peppers and eggplants, but tomatoes and potatoes do not grow well next to each other. Beet Vegetable Family : Beet, spinach and swiss chard.

Gardening means different things to different people; for many of us they represent a place of controlling your own health and well-being. Some people enjoy going to their backyard or to their patios to calm their nerves after a day at their place of employment and we all know what that can be like on some days. Some people just like the peaceful environment, listening to the birds sing their songs praising the day. Eating the foods from numerous vegetable plant families and groups can pay large dividends as providing a healthy balance to you or to your family's diet. There isn�t any reason at all why some or most of your vegetables cannot be grown right in your own home garden, no matter what the size or shape. If you do not have a large yard to produce your vegetables, you can certainly do so with many vegetable containers used as a garden right on your patio. Beans of all types, and many other grains can provide a complete protein. Did you know that if you combine black beans and rice that you are getting a complete protein and amino acids? You can grow a broad range of greens, herbs and vegetables that you can eat both raw and cooked, and this will add the essential vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients. Even the smallest Vegetable container garden can be full of things like parsley, chives, green leaf vegetables that can give your body a real health kick. Use another container for Pole beans, and yet another for tomatoes, one for onions, beets, and the list goes on and on. You can grow enough to provide your family with most of the food that they need for the remainder of the year , as your options to save your vegetables can be to freeze or to can them. For us eating a fresh vegetable salad is about as good as it gets. Now, we can have regularly a salad with dozens or more varieties of freshly picked leaves, which can be from spinach, lettuces, arugula to beets, cauliflower, cucumbers, onions, broccoli and just let your imagination go wild. We like to add peaches to our salads. You can also add carrots and tomatoes rich in vitamin C. You can always add protein from many different sources, like beef, chicken, and fish, or cheese and eggs. Add some chilies to your salads, as they can add a spicy flavor, the chilies also offer the benefits of capsaicin, which is used for everything from lowering blood pressure to fighting infections. There can be no better source of vitamins and minerals than from you own fresh vegetables and fruit. Did you know that many of the vitamins in vegetables are associated with color. For an example dark-green leafy vegetables such as collards, kale and spinach are rich in vitamins C and E, and in calcium. Orange and yellow vegetables, like carrots and winter squash , are rich in beta-carotene, which is a precursor of vitamin A. Tomatoes can also be an excellent source of vitamin C. Lettuce, has a reputation as lacking in nutrition, however can provide a significant amount of vitamins, especially the dark green and red leafy types. Vegetables picked fresh from your own garden will provide vitamins and minerals in their most complete and vital form. Especially if we grow our own vegetables, we know that they are not contaminated with any pesticides or any other harmful ingredients.
