Starting A Vegetable Garden
The most important part of starting a vegetable garden is choosing the vegetables you want to grow. You should choose vegetables that are suited to your climate, space, and time.
Next, choose the right location for your garden. Vegetables need at least six hours of sunlight daily to thrive, so select a spot that gets plenty of sun.
