Decide what you want to grow. You can start with a few plants and go AMAP depending on space
constraints.

- Tomatoes, curry leaves, chillies and mint are some of the plants you can think of.

- You will need some1(or2:)) to supervise during the seeding and the initial watering.

What you must do....
Quick flow chart:
*buy seeds
*Plant them religiously
*allow sunlight to kiss the plants with dose of Vitamin D!:)
*Water them regularly and wisely
*Keep a sharp watch for enemies(weeds and insects)

Be Naturally wise!

Avoid using chemical fertilisers and pesticides
opt for natural fertilisers like cow dung, or used tea leaves/compost using vegetable waste from kitchen
You can also use bio pesticides. Plant herbs like neem or lemon near the vegetables, and they will keep pests away.

Finally..
'Hard' work and 'heart work' gain very healthy(~wealthy) vegetables

*Note/Caution:
Remember you will have to protect your vegetable patch from your pet dog or cat, if you have one. They should not chew them up!
