Blend everything well using a spading fork. Rake the soil until it's smooth and level, with no hills or holes. This will allow the water to seep down to the roots. Get ready to plant. Some plants do better if you start with seedlings rather than seeds.
Seedlings are the fastest way to grow plants, and the easiest.
To identify what you have planted write the names of the plants on stakes with a waterproof marker. Place the markers in the soil at one end of the row. Youth can also help plant. Put the seeds in the furrow to the depth noted on the seed package. When the seeds are in the furrow, squeeze the furrow closed with your thumb and finger.
