I grew up in the city and this is my first country home. The only 'garden' I've had was a couple of tomato plants staked to a fence. Last week I hoed and planted a small garden of corn, carrots, beets, radishes, beans and cantaloupe. My neighbor is going to co- grow and added tomatoes and zucchini. My husband put a fence around it to help deter the deer. (Ha ha- I'm not confident it is going to work but we will see.) I consider it an experiment and won't be too disappointed if it fails but I am proud of my effort.
