With our first full spring/summer in the new apartment, I was excited to start planting vegetables and herbs on our patio. Then, I realized I knew nothing about starting a garden!

In her guest post, she answers some frequently asked questions about starting a garden, with an emphasis on urban gardening, and offers her tips of the trade.
