Soil is the most important for your garden, so make sure you pick the best one. Don’t buy the cheapest one, but instead find a compost-rich organic soil for your garden. If you are a beginner choose some easy-to-grow crops, such as mint and chives, kale, tomatoes, zucchini etc. Also, you can choose whether you will plant seeds or seedlings.

You cannot create an edible garden if you don’t have good garden tools. But don’t worry you don’t need many of them. Even having a good pair of garden gloves, a trowel and weeder can help you do the work. And yes whenever you plant something, make sure to label it. Add the crop, variety and planting date on a plant maker, because you may sow the same place twice before seeds emerge. And the plant makers will keep your garden organized.
