Start by researching the basics of gardening. Learn about soil preparation, planting and care, and harvesting your produce. You may also want to look into local resources or gardening clubs in your area for help and advice. Once you have a good understanding of how to properly garden, start small with some easy-to-grow vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots. Planting seeds and seedlings is a great way to get started, as it's relatively inexpensive and simple.
