Home and Garden

Gaurav K asked:


I have a roughly 20′X3′ area in the backyard that would be perfect for a vegetable garden. Having grown up in the city I have very little clue about gardening.
Where do I start to gain knowledge about gardening and specifically about vegetable gardens. The vegetables/herbs/fruits I would like to grow would be tomatoes, parsely, lemons, etc. Suggestions on what is possible are also very welcome.

I am looking for recommendations on books, websites, etc.

I am in central California, USA.

Thanks very much in anticipation of your replies.

Regards!

I can only plant my vegetable garden near a black walnut tree. Something in the tree make-up prevents certain plants from growing. Which ones do better than others. Thank you
There is sun but the drip line of the tree is close to the garden.

Also, I have some barrel style planters to the side of my house, and I was wanting to put potatoes in them. They are currently filled with dirt and grass from extending my garden, we just dumped the lawn we dug up in them.

Can we spray some sort of vegitation killer, then fertilize, etc and plant our desired crops?

First garden, looks like I actually have a green thumb. I have no idea what to do with all the stuff now. Aside from eating it and giving to my family/neighbors, what do you do with all the extra fruits and veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, etc.? I have no idea how to can, but I do have a large deep-freezer in the basement.
