What do I do first??

Here we are in mid April and all the calls I've gotten have been directed to - what can I plant?
My first question is and will be.... Is your soil ready?? Are you actually ready to plant?

Vegetable gardening (which is what I'll be concentrating on ) is totally about your "soil". You may not be able to control the weather, or the orientation of your garden or a lot of other factors affecting your plants. BUT - you have total control on what your soil composition will be.

In the next few posts, I will try to break down the first steps you need to consider in starting a "new" garden. An existing garden still comes down to soil composition - but if you are happy in the location, depth etc....then you still need to get it ready for planting.
