How to Start a Garden: With limited Resources and Space

When starting a garden there are many things to consider, but the most important question to ask yourself is, What do you like? Make a list of all the fruits and vegetiables you love and would like to grow. Then sort them into warm and cold weather crops. An example of my list:

Warm Weather Vegetables:

-tomatoes
-peppers
-cucumbers
-watermelon
-melons
-eggplant
-okra
-beans
-strawberries
-corn
-zucchini
-squash
-sweet potatoes

Cold Weather Vegetables:

-lettuce
-spinach
-kale
-swish chard
-broccoli
-cabbage
-asparagus
-cauliflower

Now, what month is it? This will determine if you will plant warm or cold weather vegetables. Are you closer to the last frost? If so plant warm weather vegetables. Are you closer to the the first frost? Then plant cold weather vegetables.

Where will you plant your vegetables? Do you have a large yard and are able to plant directly in soil or do you live in an apartment or urban environment and need to plant in containers?
