People have endless reasons why they have a vegetable garden hobby. Some people feel it's a relaxing way to lower their stress levels. Home-grown crops appeal to other people. For other people, they take pleasure in knowing their food source. No matter what the reason, vegetable gardening is a good hobby to take up.
Some people even choose to try to make some money with their vegetable gardening. Markets, stands, and health food stores are willing to buy home-grown vegetables.
Before starting the garden, you should know how big you want it to be. You may be tempted to buy dozens of different vegetables and all sorts of varieties, but this may be more work than you're really prepared for.
First, you should make a list of all of the different vegetables you'd like to plant. Write down anything that comes to mind. Don't fret about the details now, just write.

You also should not include those that will yield no better results than store-bought vegetables. Whether they come from the grocery or from your garden, some varieties of vegetables not differ in their taste.
What you want to have on your list is the produce you can't get locally, is generally too expensive to purchase, or would taste significantly better when grown in your own garden. Herbs, for one, are a good addition to any garden since they're so expensive in groceries.
Growing your own tomatoes is a good idea too, since it's hard to get really delicious tomatoes from stores. A crop that's expensive in shops and is sometimes hard to get is lettuce.
Large gardens aren't for everyone. It is hard work. Gardening has its good and bad side. There's more to gardening work than just planting, watering and harvesting.
If it's too big for you, then it's bound to make working in it a nightmare for you. You'd find you hobby unbearable if you get in over your head. Gardening is tiring work, so you should take time to choose those crops that are rare to find in stores and those that you will surely love taking care of.
Plant crops in moderation for those that you rarely eat. There are no required plants in gardens, so just plant what you want. Some people plant things they think look pretty in the seed catalog, even though they know they won't enjoy the produce!
