Gardening

I starting to think about my garden. I have two goals with this.

One...........us starting to eat healthier and better meals (we need to lose weight and I don't want to do anything like weight loss pills or surgery!). For this, I want squash, Zuchini, red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, etc.

Two...........to make homeade salsa to give out for Christmas gifts next year. For this, I want nice tomatoes, jalapeno's, cilantra, etc.

I don't have a lot of room, I will have appx 12 x 4 foot space to work with. But, I am thinking of putting some things in buckets.

Anyone else have a garden and willing to give me some ideas and tips???
