I have a retired friend who decided to take up vegetable gardening this year. My wife and I discussed various basic gardening techniques, like tilling, composting, fertilizing, weeding, etc., with him. He's planning to plant tomatoes, cabbages, lettuce, and similar common vegetables this first year.

I wondered if the gardeners on this list had a favorite tip for gardening that I could pass on to him. Mine was to weed constantly to prevent the weeds from taking over.

Hi Paul,

I am getting in on this a little late. I also
do not really know what I am doing, so take
what I say lightly.

My big mistake and one I am probably still making
was not realizing what I am actually growing is
the soil.
