The most important step in the plan is to choose the place where the garden will be made. Vegetables need 6 to 8 hours of sunshine to perform at their best. Leafy vegetables, such as spinach and lettuce, develop with less sunlight. Choose a place as far away as possible from trees and shrubs to prevent their roots from removing nutrients and water from vegetables. It will be necessary to have good soil and adequate drainage. Before making the garden, make a soil analysis to determine if nutrients are missing. Make sure you have a water fountain nearby.
