So this is finally the year that you re going to start a garden what should you do first?
We suggest starting with a little research namely, finding out what your region s last frost date is. This will give you a good indication of when to begin transplanting or sowing seeds outside (though you ll want to keep your eye on the weather forecast as well). Determining the best vegetables and flowers to grow are most dependent on your bioregion, soil quality and shade level, so you ll also want to assess which plants will have the most success in your yard and perhaps invest in a raised garden bed to give your plants the most fertile bed possible.
