My mother and I have recently decided to grow our own food. We're re-working the backyard to make it usable for this. She's had some success growing peppers and eggplants on the side of the house, but we recently cleared out what used to be a play area and are turning it into a fruit/herb/vegetable garden.
For now, we're growing some vegetables in egg cartons, to transplant once they've taken root in the soil. I planted 60 seeds (15 different types of vegetable, 4 of each). I'm debating adding some melons to the mix, but I wonder if I shouldn't just keep going with vegetables instead (I like eating them more than I like eating fruit)
Any tips on taking care of root vegetables in particular? I have a particular interest in cultivating them.
