planting vegetables after it warms up is the best time. You will want to plant if possible in the mornings so that you don�t overheat. But in either case, after the vegetables seeds have been planted, you will want to water the vegetables.

Soil is another big one.

Top soil works well with most plants but it doesn�t always have everything you need to plant. You will want to try compost mixed in with the dirt from your own back yard; this will make the soil fertile, which you want.

Watch for them or you might end up with half eaten vegetables and plants.
