Brussel sprouts grow well in cool climates.  The 2 1/2 feet tall plant might produce as many as a hundred 1 to 2 inch ball-like sprouts.

Plant whisterias in a rich, medium loam.  Water heavily during the first summer.  Whisterias require a lot of sunshine and a warm wall to help it flower.

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.

Make sure you are around to enjoy your vegetable garden harvest.  Keep track of the number of days written on the packet so you are not away on vacation when you garden is ready to harvest.
