    Figure out which way your garden area drains. Then when you plant your garden you can have your rows go in the direction of natural flow. Pay attention to the angles of the sun on your garden. Then plan to plant taller plants such that they will not over shade the lower plantings, yet maybe give some of the more sun/heat sensitive plantings some shade relief. Check your soils texture and amend it with some good compost as needed. Also check your soils pH in three or four different spots and see how it comes in as far as pH level. Then look up the optimum pH level for the plants you are planting. This can go a long way in great garden production whether it be blooms or veggies!

    Now is a good time to start. Certainly your cooler weather crops can go in (peas, cabbage, lettuce, etc.) and most likely the others as well, as long as your last frost date has passed.

    You can plant immediately after tilling.

    Pesticides and herbicides have a break down period where they break down and are no longer present in the soil. Most likely, this time has passed for that area, so I would recommend making a dedication to organic gardening in that space going forward, as the chemicals that were in that space are no longer an issue.
