How to grow a veggie garden?

Okay this is the first for me,
i want to start a veggie garden and i do not know how to.
does anyone know of a site i can go to that would tell me like what i needed,what season to start it in and how to prepare.
kinda step by step.
im excited to start one..i know i have to wait for winter to go but i can't wait.
i heard that starting from seeds were for people with more experiance...so i would use plants.
thanks everyone.

Decide what plants you want to grow. What do you like to eat? In the spring, go to your local plant nursery - see what they have available. Some plants are easier to grow by buying plants - some are very very easy just to throw the seeds in the ground - depends what you want to grow.

Since you have to wait for winter to be over anyway, go to the library and grab a big stack of books on vegetable gardening, and look them over. Usually one or two will catch your eye. Spend the winter reading.

In the most simple terms, a veggies garden is:

digging the soil to loosen it up, in a sunny spot.
Plant your veggies.
Pull weeds as they grow.
Water if it doesn't rain.
Watch them grow.

There are tons and tons of details to learn - even after gardening for years and years - there's always more to learn.

I recommend starting small - with just 2 or 3 different kinds. Then add more each year as you learn and become experienced.
