A real good resouce is put out by the Boy Scouts. It is the Gardening
Merit Badge Book. If you have a Scout shop in your area, they would
have it.

The cheapest and fastest way to get started is with seeds. However you
will have to prepare the soil. That involves digging it up, and pulling
out anything that has roots. It is a lot of work so think small. You
might get someone to help you. If you have a neighbor that has a nice
garden, ask them your questions. They may even give you some plants to
use, but they will certainly give you some good advice.
