Well go find your spot you want to grow in.. make sure its well out the way.. but if you know about it so will other people.. just get the spot ready for when you go out side it will save you so much time.. the mistake i made last year was i didnt prepear my spot untill i wanted to plant out side, which to say the least i found a bit tricky

if your growing in a place thats you feel save enough in, a great way to prep the garden is to bust up a hay bail or 2 in the garden and put a ton of worms in it. the worms love the hay and youll have a ton of worm castings in just a month or 2. and the hay that doesnt break down help to hold in the water of the dirt.

also it may come up later that growing outside you have animals eat your plants. if you have a dog you can take the dog hair out to the garden and spread it out. it keeps deers, hogs and things like that away.

i don't feed mine until they are well established. depending on the soil i use this can be as far along as 12" of growth. seedlings don't really need a lot of nutes. i start my seeds indoors. i let them get 12" then i put them outside. some leaves get a little damage because i choose not to ease them into the sun. i may lose 2 - 4 lower fan leaves the first week. once the plants settle in they will start to show healthy new growth THEN i start feeding them at 1/2 strength. slowly working up to full strength over the next couple of weeks.
