10 Minute Vegetable Garden

How would you like a nice vegetable garden in only 10 minutes a day? You can!

Day 1: Take 10 minutes and decide what you want to eat from your garden.
Day 2: Decide where you want your garden to go and pull weeds for 10 minutes.
Day 3: Take 10 minutes on errand day and buy your seeds and transplants.
Day 4: Pull weeds for 10 minutes.
Day 5: Take 10 minutes and plant a wide row or section of garden with one kind of your new seeds or transplants.
Day 6: Pull weeds for 10 minutes.
Day 7: Take 10 minutes and plant another row or section of garden with another kind of your seeds or transplants.
Day 8: Pull weeds for 10 minutes.
Day 9: Take 10 minutes and repeat planting your seeds and transplants each day until all has been planted.
Day 10: Pull weeds for 10 minutes.
Day 11: Take 10 minutes and lay down a thick layer of mulch (grass clippings work well, even bermuda grass clippings---I have use them for years and never had any grow in my garden), so you will have far less new weeds to pull!

In two weeks or so you will have a nice garden, taking only 10 minutes a day! Pulling weeds every-other-day will get it done without much fuss, and maintaining your weedless garden will take less and less time. It won't be long before you will be using your 10 minutes a day to harvest your vegetables!
