You should plan on a minimum of once a week to tend your garden.
It’s important to plan for time to tend your vegetable garden. That way, your expectations will be in line with the work required. You should plan on a minimum of once a week to tend your garden. How much time each week will vary greatly throughout the season and with what type of crops you are growing. Once you get into 6 weeks past planting, you could expect to build upon the initial tasks of planting and watering and incorporate time for weeding, supporting, and insect scouting -- and soon you will be harvesting as well.
