Save your unused vegetable garden seeds for next year's planting.  The best method of storage is an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Make a plastic root cellar by sinking a garbage can into the ground with the rim 3 inches above the ground.  Line the bottom of the garbage can with 2 inches of damp sand, repeat this with each layer of vegetables.  Finally, place a 1 to 2 foot high pile of leaves and straw over the top followed by a plastic film held down by rocks.

When planning a vegetable garden, know what varieties will grow in your climate, know the frost dates, plant cool weather plants either early or late, know each vegetable's time to maturity, start successive plantings in a nursery to save garden space.

With a vegetable garden planting, you can grow more plants in a given area by interplanting.  Planting fast and slow growing plants, along with large and small plants in the same area gives you a bigger harvest.
