If you have children, get them involved so they will learn a love of gardening early.
Find a nursery you like and ask which is the best book for your zone and climate to read and understand what to plant where, so you’ll have the best chance for success.
Always grow vegetables and fruits that you and your family love to eat.
Your kitchen garden should be a sunny, open spot that is easy for you to see and tend.
If possible, have an herb garden that is separate and easy to access for daily use when warm.
Check your soil type and use containers or raised beds if your soil is too poor or damp and swampy. Of course, a compost pile can fix your soil soon enough.
Preparation is everything, even with soil. Remove rocks and weeds; loosen the soil so it “breathes.”
Develop your garden’s soil by mixing in compost. Once the plants are established, serve them compost tea!
Patience is a virtue. Don’t sow too early—wait until the soil is warmed up.
