Check the soil, if it is claylike and sticks to your hands a lot it will need conditioners, peat moss and bark mulch work well. You will need to till the soil, you can probably rent a rototiller for $8-20 per hour from a local rental agency, talk a relative into it, or hire an odd job worker. Next you will pick your plants, plants with small seeds should be purchased from a nursery (tomatoes, peppers) You can plant some small seeded items early, such as carrots (they are the exception you can plant them in rows, you do not purchase them as plants). Get some cucumbers, squash, melons, pumpkins, and lots of tomatoes, these are all easy to grow. The best watering system is drip or soaker hoses, but a frogeye sprinkler will also work, be sure to water in the morning or night if using a sprinkler. Plant in rows, water regularly, and watch your vegetables grow, it's great fun. Don't slack on the weed pulling. Use mulch to cut down on the work.

Firstly you will need some good dirt and good area to plant, maybe 2 metres by 1 metre would be a good area for you. Then you need fertilizer, put it in the dirt, mix it in well, then you can start planting. Dig a hole, put the seeds in , water, wait You might want to get a few wide pieces of timber to make a border for your garden, this will help keep the dirt in as well. Well thats nice, Happy Bday!
