The challenging part during gardening is to make sure nothing happen to it until harvesting time. Those vegetables may be under the attack of weeds or pests or any other animals.  You may need to get a bird or a toad to  eat them. For weeds , it is easier as you can pull those weeds one by one from the ground.  For prevention from other animals, putting up a fence is a good idea too.

Another solution to prevent pests is to use mulch. Chipped barks , garden compost, leaf mould and manure can be used as mulch.  These mulch must be placed some  8 to 10 cm from the ground to be effective.
