Your first vegetable garden in 3 steps

You don't need a big yard or years of experience — just sun, soil and a little patience.

1

Pick a sunny spot

Most vegetables want 6+ hours of direct sun a day. A balcony, patio pots or a small backyard bed all work.

2

Feed your soil

Loose, compost-rich soil with pH 6.1–7.0. Good soil does half the growing work for you.

3

Sow & water wisely

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, then mulch. Consistent moisture beats occasional flooding.

Plant Doctor

Something wrong with your plant? Diagnose it.

Match the symptom, find the cause, fix it fast — with flowcharts instead of guesswork.

  • Yellow leaves? Usually overwatering or nitrogen hunger — the chart tells which.
  • Spots or holes? Identify the pest or fungus from photos, then treat it.
  • Wilting despite water? Could be root rot — learn the rescue steps.
