• Most vegetables and flowers require at least 6
  hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Consider factors such as shade from nearby
  buildings or trees that could affect the sun your
  garden receives throughout the day.

  with compost or fertilizer as needed for
  nutrients.
• Proper drainage is provided to control
  waterlogging, which can cause root rot.
• Raised beds or organic matter can help improve
  drainage.

6
Plant Selection and Spacing

• Select plants served to your climate and growing
  needs.
• Consider temperature, humidity, and frost dates.
• Follow spacing guidelines to avoid overcrowding,
  hindering growth, and nutrient competition.

7
Watering and Maintenance

• Establish a watering schedule based on plant
  needs, adjusting for weather and soil moisture.
• Water profoundly, but avoid overwatering.
• Monitor for pests and diseases, using organic
  pesticides or crop rotation as needed.

FAQs
Q. What month should you start a garden?
The best month to start a garden varies by region
and plant type. Generally, Spring is ideal when
the soil warms up, and frost risk diminishes, but
it depends on your local climate and plant
preferences.
Q. What is the best season to plant a garden?
Spring and fall are generally the best seasons
for planting, offering optimal conditions for
seed germination and root development. However,
the ideal season varies based on your local
climate and plant selection.
Q. What happens if you plant your garden too
