Alright, let’s lay it out in the simplest possible way. 1. Soil prep – clear the patch of debris, level the surface, take a pH sample, add compost or well‑rotted manure if needed, mix to a uniform texture. 2. Plant selection – pick a few hardy, low‑maintenance species that thrive in your climate, rotate crops if you plan to keep the soil healthy. 3. Irrigation – lay a drip line or soaker hoses, lay down mulch to hold moisture, set up a simple timer or manual control if you’re against tech. 4. Maintenance – check the soil moisture daily for the first month, prune or thin seedlings, remove weeds by hand. 5. Harvest – pick when mature, rotate to keep the beds fresh, store or use immediately to avoid waste. That’s the core cycle. Anything else you want to refine?
