Describe the planting area. What's the sun like? The soil? How big?

No, it's just because guys that are into gardening tend to be gay. Which we all know attracts the HIV.

Fertilizer helps alot. I live in MEEEchigan as well. Depending on where u live u may need a cheap wire fence to keep deer and rabbits from eating ur plants. If u live near a farm manure helps immensely as well.
Other than that regularly water and fertilize your plants and u will have lots of produce that is tasty and healthy!

ya i plan on getting some cow shit. we have a fenced in area but still easily accessible to deer, maybe we have to make the fence higher.
so it's as easy as, fertilize, plant, water, grow, eat? sounds simple enough.

While at a local farmers market, or in the plant nursery, look for the oldest, most toothless man, with a John Deere hat, and suspenders.
Ask him about growing plants. Take notes because it's going to come at you like water out of a dam. But it'll be hilarious, and you'll learn more in 1 hour than all the books and tv shows can teach you in years. You'll also probably hear a story about this one time his dogs managed to corner a racoon...
hi-fuckin'-larious.

The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Kinda for a noob. Follow the directions on the seed packets/plants when you buy em to know how far apart to plant and stuff about sun conditions. I'll only suggest if you're going to do tomatoes, cukes, peppers or any other vegetable that hangs off a vine that you buy plants and not seeds and use sticks or wire cages to support the plants.
Advanced play would involve soil ph and trimming for increased yield but we'll talk about that in the high stakes forum.

I lol'd hard not gonna lie, because I actually know people like this. Life fail for knowing exactly what this looks/sounds like.
Also, solution to deer problem = shotgun. Nah jk (or am i?) a real solution is pretty much anything that makes a loud noise (doesnt hve to be REAL loud) every half hour or so should do the trick. One suggestion is like those aluminum pie tins that you can tie to a string that can bang against something (your fence?) if the wind blows. Looks kinda shitty, but does the trick.

Don't plant more than a couple of zucchini plants. Those effers produce enough to feed an army and your neighbors will start hiding when they see you coming with yet another box of freebies.
