GETTING STARTED

33. Sun - Most vegetables need full sun – that
means at least six hours of direct sunlight a
day.
Water – Growing vegetables need water - lots of
it. However, you don't want to drown your
plants.
Heat – You may have to shade your plants in the
middle of the day in order not to fry them.

34. Soil - Quality potting soil is really important for
vegetables.
Fertilizer - Plants need food to thrive, and their
food is fertilizer. If your soil doesn’t have
fertilizer already mixed in, you’ll want to add
fertilizer.

35. Drainage - Drainage is key to keep plants from
drowning. You want your pot or container to
let excess water out of the bottom, so your
plants won't sit in water or soggy soil.

36. Seeds or Seedlings – You can start your veggies
from seed or buy seedlings. There are some
significant advantages and disadvantages to
each. Starting your own seeds is much less
expensive than buying seedlings, after some
startup costs.
