Before you begin planting your vegetable garden, you will need to gather some basic gardening tools such as a: Spade Garden fork Hoe Hose Wheelbarrow (or a bucket if you are going to plant in containers) You will probably get dirty planting your garden, so it is a good idea to wear gloves and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. If you are planting your vegetable garden in the ground, then you will need to use a tiller or hoe to loosen the soil before planting your seeds and/or plants. If you are planting your vegetable garden in raised beds or containers, then you do not have to worry about this step. Instead, you will need to put soil into your raised beds or containers. Follow the directions on the seed packets to determine how deep to make this trench and how far apart your trenches should be. Garden rows should be about 18 inches apart, but some vegetables may require more space. If you have purchased plants, dig a hole twice the size of the container that it came in, and fill with loose soil. Then plant it in the soil at the same depth as it was growing in the pot. Some plants, such as tomatoes, may be planted deeper. Follow the directions on the seed packets to determine how far apart and how deep to place your seeds. Some packets will also instruct you to put more than one seed into each space.Read the instructions carefully to be sure. After you plant your seeds in the ground, cover them up with a thin layer of dirt and pack the dirt lightly. Follow the directions on the seed packets to determine how much dirt should go over the seeds. To keep track of where you planted everything, you will need to place markers at the ends of your rows or in your containers. One easy way to mark your veggies is to write the name of the vegetables on popsicle sticks and place the sticks about halfway into the ground at the end of each row or in each container. After you have finished planting your seeds, you will need to give your garden its first drink. Ground gardens drain more slowly than raised beds and container gardens, so you will need to give more water to your seeds the first time that you water them if you have planted them in raised beds or containers.
