Starting A Vegetable Garden
The first step in growing your own vegetables is to decide what you want to grow. Choose varieties based on your climate, space, and tastes.
Then choose a sunny spot that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. This is essential, as many vegetable crops do best in full sun.
