Growing summer vegetables in your garden should not be a nightmare, even for beginner gardeners. Arina Duvenhage put together the Healthy Vegetable course book. The Healthy Vegetable course is for fellow gardeners, from beginner to expert. This course was divided into 10 modules, with module 8 covering summer vegetables. It answers the question what to grow in your summer vegetable garden and how.

The summer vegetables in module 8:

• Corn
• Tomatoes
• Cucumber
• Patty Pan
• Pumpkin
• Baby marrows
• Bell Pepper
• Chillies
• Coriander (Cilantro)
• Lettuce
• Spinach
• Cabbage
• Spring onion
• Chives
• Fennel
• Eggplant (Brinjal)
• Rocket
• Dill
• Basil

For each summer vegetable, Arina explains what type of plant each vegetable is, which season, germination temperature, and what seed method should be used for planting and growing each vegetable.

The module also gives guidance on the germination period, where to plant the vegetable, which months to plant it and which companion plants to include for each vegetable. The ebook module contains a pictorial companion plant A-Z to make identifying companion plants easy.

When discussing growing your own summer vegetables, pests and plant diseases cannot be left out. We have included the most common pests and plant diseases specific to each vegetable plant in your summer vegetables. Pictures were included for easy identification of these pests and diseases too. Examples of common pests include whitefly, aphids, worms, and beetles. Plant diseases include fusarium stalk rot on corn, blight on tomatoes, mildew on pumpkins, and so on. With these identifiers, guidance on pest and plant disease prevention is included in the module.

Garden of Eden Garden School’s approach to gardening, vegetables, fruits, or flowers is rooted in soil health. As such, module 8 specifies the type of soil needed for each vegetable and covers soil conditions. If you would like to learn more about soil health and/or soil organisms, please see our modules on soil, Module 2 and Module 10.

Improve and expand your knowledge and understanding of soil health for a livelier, healthier and flourishing garden.

The majority of garden problems, from garden pests, slow growth, plant diseases and more seem random and inevitable. However, they usually have a root cause. Namely, the soil or rather, soil health.

Plants require a variety of nutrients to be available within the soil in order to grow and be able to resist plant diseases and pests. Nitrogen is one of these key nutrients that most plants need and is one of the many important and useful nutrients that humus has.

Your soil requires a minimum of 5% humus. Humus in the soil helps to retain the pH balance as well as help keep the nutrients in the soil that your plant needs to grow and flourish. It also boosts the plants’ photosynthesis.

Is your thyroid overactive or underactive?
Or worse, you might have Hashimoto or Grave’s disease.

This eBook course teaches you what nutritional deficiencies led to it and how to restore it with the planting of fruits and vegetables that can help it recover.

We have finally completed turning our ‘how vegetables can help the thyroid’ course into a booklet! This makes for the launch of our second ‘book’ conversion from our courses!

We cover what the thyroid is and how it works. The book discusses various aspects of the body that can affect the thyroid and why. We delve into how to prepare your soil for the fruit, vegetables and nuts that are specific for helping the thyroid.

It also has a full page with every vegetable and fruit mentioned and shows what they look like.

Eating healthily is vital for a good, strong and active immune system. It is through the food that we eat that the body gets the nutrients that are needed to keep us healthy. However, how do you know that the fruits and vegetables you are eating have the nutrients that they are supposed to have?

Without a healthy and strong immune system, you are left vulnerable to seasonal colds and flu as well as more severe diseases.

In this eBook course, we teach you how to plant and care for your vegetables as they go through their phases of growth, including the 4 phases. By carefully growing your vegetables you can watch them and confirm whether they are going through their phases as they should and know if they will offer the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that will benefit the body and ultimately boost and improve the immune system.

We included the planting dates for the remainder of 2020 and a full page dedicated to winter vegetables that you can plant.
