How can I start a Garden?

It is best to start with a list of the plants you eat the most of. Some plants are easier than others to grow. If you don't have a yard you can grow many things in containers, if you have a yard don't start too big. I use raised planter boxes filled with compost which helps keep weeds under control and has lots of nutrients so I can plant things close together. The region you live in will determine what you can grow. Most plants have a few varieties that can grow in each region, but some places don't get cold enough or hot enough for some plants. The best thing to do is find a local nursery and ask questions, if you can find your local University extension office you can get help from Master Gardeners, they are people who have taken many courses about gardening and have a lot of good information about your specific area. Look for classes as well, you need to build up your soil and Integrated Pest management can really help reduce the amount of sprays you will need to use.
