You should maintain your garden so that it doesn’t become congested and it should even be cleaned up once a week. Some people use their garden as their garbage store to store all unnecessary things. This is wrong and please you should not do this as it will certainly degrade your garden. You have to maintain it and keep it tidy so that your garden remains beautiful and hygienic.

If you only have a small space for gardening, you have to plant only the vegetables and curry leaves necessary for your day to day use. You do not need to plant huge numbers of items in your home vegetable garden. Plant according to your garden’s soil type and the climate and weather conditions of your residing area. Once you have harvested your vegetables, you must restart the gardening cycle in time for the next Spring.
