Starting a new garden from the ground up

I am going to start a brand new garden. I have been looking, is there a better place on AMHD to start a discussion about a veggie garden?
I am aware of all the little things, but would sure like some help during the process. Anyone here going to have a great garden this year?? This week end will be the above ground box building!! Anyone have any tips or ideas? Thanks in advance for all your answers!

Don't laugh hehe.
I still need to finish another one and get my tomatoes in a bag.
This is hard work! Hopefully it will grow and not look so pitiful.

How is everyone doing with the gardens? I haven't started but we will be getting it together real soon. I can't wait. I may have to go a little smaller than originally planned, but i am ok with that. Ak, how is it going now? How are your hangy thingy's??
I am going to do hanging baskets for my strawberries! They are so pretty and yummy.
Can't wait to hear if anybody's gardens are being started and the new things they are trying!!

I can't believe how fast everything grows.
I have 5 little green cherry tomatoes on my cherry tomato plant already.
I think it was Saturday, I took 3 of my tomato plants out of the hangy bags and planted them in containers cause they didn't look so good.
The plants looked so good today and grew so much and have several blooms on them that I decided to take all the others out of the bags and plant them in containers too, so thats what I did today.
When you grow things upside down, they will still grow toward the sun, so...I'm hoping that these plants will straighten back up.
Now that they are planted right side up, the plant is curving down...hard to explain, but so far so good, everything in my garden seems to be going well.

I did plant watermellons...which I don't really have room for, but well see how it goes. They may not make it, but I wanted to give it a try.

HiYa!
Start, did you get started on anything yet?
All my plants, except for one tomato vine, has loads of baby fruit and veggies on them!!! The tomatoes and green peppers have the biggest ones on them right now, oh and the strawberries are full and red and pretty.
I saw on the weather station that your weather has been HOT!
Hope you've been enjoying it!

I would love to see pics AK......
yes our weather has been hot, a little overcast and a few rain drops today.
As for me and my garden, WE all have agreed to start it late, we really need to get this place under control before we start a big project, so I have decided to maybe go small and wait till next year to go big. I will let you know when I am gonna buy starts instead of seeds.
Glad your stuff is growin' you know that makes me smile big!!!!!!
