All You Need to Know to Start Your Own Garden

There is nothing like harvesting fruits and vegetables from your very own garden. I’ve got two boxes in my yard - one in the front yard and the other alongside the house - and every year I review my seed collection and sketch out my garden plot. I don’t plant the same things every year, opting to rotate my crops in order to get the best yields. Over the years I have kept vegetable gardens of various sizes, from coffee cans on the window sill, large pots on the patio, community gardening, and the plot I have now.

If you are new to home gardening or would like a refresher, Tara Johnson has created the fantastic “Starting Your Garden” series on YouTube.
