Starting A Vegetable Garden can be a rewarding experience. The vegetables grow quickly once the seeds are planted.

The first step is selecting a sunny location. Most vegetables need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day.

Water new seedlings daily and mature plants as needed. A garden hose or watering can is usually enough to keep the soil moist, but not muddy.
