Another suggestion is to start with only one or two vegetables. Try to perfect each of them. Then increase your diversity. There is a learning curve to the process, especially if you move to a different climate. Also, each plant has its own taste for alkaline vs acidic soil called soil Ph. I don’t focus too much on that unless you are planting directly into the ground. Or, you can hack the process by seeking help from neighbors that know, as I originally suggested. The elderly are such a wealth of knowledge. They would simply blow your mind with their gardening tips. Stuff you could never read about or have figured out for yourself, mostly because most gardening is regional when you consider everything put together. For instance, do you know what the best fertilizer is? Wood ash and human urine! Take your urine (urine without medications or UTIs) and mix with water and wood ash. Water plants weekly with it the beginning to encourage root growth and then spread it out as the season progresses. Just never apply to the leaves as the nitrogen in the urine will burn leaves. Sounds gross, but it’s free and what our ancestors used. But don’t tell anyone that you use your urine. Can you say, “taboo!” Meh, screw ‘em!
