I am planning to set up a garden in my backyard any ideas of how to set it up or what i should do and where to go thanks

Make sure you pick a spot that gets midday sun, and if you have the room, I would setup small mounds, at least 3 rows and with at least enough room to walk in between them.

Position everything around the sun, make sure you don't plant anything where it will give shade to the plants next to it.

Unless your planning on a big garden, I would say to not grow corn for your first couple seasons, they are a pain and need a few rows to even grow.

The easiest things to grow are peppers and tomatoes, make sure when you buy to get the pest resistant plants, I believe they are labeled VFN (off the top of my head).

It would be wise to setup a drip line, but if you plan on watering by hand every day then you won't need that.

Also make sure to get some of those bright yellow white-fly traps, I usally just stick them to the end of a popsicle stick and place them in the ground between plants. They work well at ridding the area of white-flies and aphids.

I usally buy my plants from OSH, if they happen to die, OSH will replace them for free.

Use plenty of fertilizer like cow or chicken manure and also some perlite and vermiculite to aerate and preserve water.

One last thing, be sure to turn the soil over well before planting, add the perlite, vermiculite and fertilizer over the area your going to use and till the hell out of it with a shovel, or a rototiller.

GOOD LUCK!
