Any tips for a beginner's vegetable garden?

I live in Reno, Nv (Northern Nevada). I have a landscaped backyard with a flower garden, but I want to make a small vegetable garden that will I will plan and take care of by myself.



I am planning to start it just outside the fence to my backyard. I will be buying live plants instead of seeds. It will not be attached to the drip system that my other plants use (where's the fun in that?)



I plan to research the matter online and check with the nursery for information. I just wanted to also get advice from hobby vegetable gardeners themselves.



Thank you for your time:)

Leave plenty of room between your rows or plants. Your garden may look thin at first but the pay-off will be great. Fertelize every two weeks, water every two or three days,and good luck . Oh ya,dont forget to weed!!

Reply:Keep in mind, you spend all this time gardening, look into an automatic irrigation system. You can control the watering and save you the worries of forgetting.



Stay away from hardware stores for your irrigation products. You get what you pay for. Buck up and call a licensed contractor in your area!



Best of luck
Reply:Get moving--you should have planted weeks ago. It is not too late but you are pushing it. Go straight to the nearest garden center, assuming you have your soil tilled nice and deep and are ready to plant, and get your plants and fertilizer. They can tell you what is going to do best in your area.
