Keep it Simple

Group plants with similar needs in the same container. In other words, don’t put shade loving plants in with plants that must have full sun or plants that need lots of water in with ones that thrive in near desert conditions.

Also, don’t try to grow every one of your favourite vegetables in the first year of your new garden. Pick a few that are right for your specific conditions (SEE LIGHT, WATER, etc.). Take the time to learn what works for you and what doesn’t.
