Choose a spot that gets at least six hours of sun a day and is close to a tap. A raised bed or even a few large containers work well. Start small, with two or three crops you actually enjoy eating, and expand once you have the hang of it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d77b8f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_image_or_svg\" data-id=\"0d77b8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_image_or_svg.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-image text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/live.allanuxweb.com\/nursery-garden\/plants\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/wd-single-post-image-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42ce794 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"42ce794\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Prepare the soil with plenty of compost before planting.
