As I mentioned when I was first kvelling about this house, we have a patch of yard out back that'll be perfect for a garden! Yay!

...I know nothing about gardening.

So I have to prepare the ground in some way? And soil testing? And um? I really don't know where to start, other than determining that my grow zone is 6 and ordering seed catalogs. Does anyone have any tips for good online resources for absolute beginners? Any locals have any expertise? Oh halp.

Focus will be on vegetables and herbs, not flowers, although maybe flowering vines for the front yard/chain-link fence, omg will passionflowers grow here?

*settles down*

Work now! Will be back later. Thanks in advance!

Somerville has a very active Garden Club, which welcomes people from neighboring and nearby towns. Your town might as well, but I haven't been able to find it so far online.
