Growing Vegetables can be easy. You can start with a small space in the yard or grow a few things like tomatoes and lettuce in patio pots. To start, choose a sunny spot. For patio gardening, line the bottom of a pot with rock or pottery pieces to provide drainage before filling with potting soil. Vegetables need at least nine hours of sunlight a day.  Follow instructions on a ORI approved fertilizer to get the most nutritious vegetables. Provide water to the same time every morning before it gets hot. DD
