Well hello guys!

Follow at @gardenary on instagram. Plant more densely than you think you can. Know what to grow from seed vs. buy as seedlings. Plant tall stuff in the middle and move outward. Think logically about vining plants and how you’ll support them.
In LA and also do better with less density. Planting too close together was definitely my biggest mistake my first two seasons gardening.
Test your soil. Send it to a soil testing lab, don't cheap out and use a home test kit. If your garden has areas that are meaningfully different (e.g. different soil types, one is on top of a hill and the other is at the bottom, etc.) test them separately.
Soil pH is critically important, and in most areas you will need to periodically add lime or sulfur to the soil to maintain the pH in the optimal range for vegetable crops. It is relatively easy to measure the pH of soil at home with a kit, but there are no kits to measure buffering capacity, which is needed to calculate how much amendment you need to add. Pick a soil test that includes "liming recommendations" and the lab will tell you how much lime/sulfur to add. (Changing soil pH is a slow process, so do the soil testing well in advance of when you intend to plant.)
Kit measurement accuracy for N/P/K is hit or miss. Soils are extremely diverse, and the kits can work great on some soils and completely flop on others. If you want to use kits, try them on a small part of the sample right before you send it to a professional lab. If the lab results line up with the kit, you know you can use the kit for relative adjustments. Just don't be surprised if the lab results come back completely different (e.g. my soil is extremely rich in P, like 5x ideal levels, per the lab soil test, but the same sample reads borderline P deficient with a highly-rated kit).
Talk to your neighbors, garden store employees, and even the agriculture departments of local universities. All of them can provide essential information on what works well in your area
How did it go?
