Chonibon, Spring weather is a perfect time to garden. I want to grow a vegetable garden, but don t know how. Can you explain to me how or give me some tips? Dear Gardener, First, pick a spot in your yard where you have a decent amount of sunshine. Next, get the soil ready by breaking it apart with a hoe, or by tilling it. Once you have the soil ready, go to a plant/flower store to pick out seedlings of the vegetable plants that you want to grow. After that, plant the seedlings in your garden by digging a small hole and placing the seedlings in it. Make sure to consistently water and check on your garden!
