***You need to post where you are located
how much daylight you have through the year,
when you get rainfall and how much,
what exposure is your garden (N.S.E.W.) as this determines what you
can grow,
when/if you get frost
whether you plan to grow edibles or decoratives,
and a lot more.

You also need to think about (dons professorial hat) how you would
feel if you were, say, on a photography group, and a newbie wandered
in and posted:

"Ï'm [so & so] I am new in the world of [photography] and want
tips. Can you help me?"

Did you notice also some punctuation corrections?

Sorry, I was trying to be humorous. I'll keep my day job. :-)

You really didn't ask any questions, but I'll offer some advice:

1) Build some raised beds, no wider than 2' and space no closer than 1'
2) Obtain some clean topsoil, and augment with clean compost
3) Start a compost pile. Run a mover over all your fall leaves and
general garden greens. This stuff is golden
4) Start with something simple for your area. In my area, radishes,
tomatoes, cukes, and carrot are a guaranteed crop.
5) Consider a drip irrigation system. I wish I'd do this... :-)

Just munched a couple tomatoes for dinner. Better'n sex!

Maybe you should be a bit specific.
