I'd like to start a vegetable garden in my backyard. How do I get started?

Start by researching what vegetables grow best in your climate and soil type, then decide on the types of vegetables you want to plant. 2 Next, purchase seeds or seedlings from a local nursery or garden center. 3 Prepare the soil for planting by removing weeds and adding compost or other organic matter. 4 Dig holes for each seed or seedling according to the instructions on the seed packet. 5 Place the seed or seedling in the hole and fill it with soil. 6 Water the soil gently around the plants, making sure not to wet the leaves. 7 Finally, provide adequate sunlight and water for the plants to thrive.
