It’s so rewarding to invest time and effort into growing your own veggies. What is more healthy than eating organic, fresh veg straight from the garden? One of the most essential things to remember about veggie gardening is that you must sow seeds at their correct planting time. Let’s take a look then at what veggies can be planted in November.
November is the optimal time to plant the following veggies: asparagus, baby marrows, basil, runner beans, beets, broccoli, butternut, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, chives, cucumber, ginger, leeks, lettuce, onion, pumpkin, rocket, spring onions, sweet potato and turnips.
When it comes to establishing a veggie garden many people feel that they just don’t have adequate space. However, the simple truth is that you don’t need a massive piece of ground to set up a veggie garden. You can use whatever space you have. And if you have no garden whatsoever, you can even grow your vegies in containers on a balcony.
However, the one critical thing you do need for a veggie garden is water. It can become expensive to use council water to water your garden. In addition, council water can also be unreliable with all the pipe leaks we face. As a result, it’s important to consider using an alternative water source like a borehole. A borehole will address both these issues by reducing your water bill and providing water security.
A borehole comes with the following benefits:
- A borehole increases the value of your property
- It helps you save potable water
- A borehole helps you save money on your water bill
- You can fill your pool with borehole water once treated appropriately
- You can use borehole water for your irrigation system
- It gives you water security
- It allows off-the-grid living
As you can see a borehole is well worth the investment!
