How I did it: When I moved back to SC from NYC-I had time and space to plant a garden.  I marked out a small plot not wanting to bite off more than I can chew.  I have been adding organic matter as often as I can -Plenty of free manure at the race track here in my area. 

Then I put a short fence around it to keep critters out..and I have 6 beds, and put my tomatoes in large plastic pots.  This year I planted 3 cherry tomatoes and one Roma Plant, they have done super !!
 
I planted Herbs such as Thyme, Rosemary, Sage, and Basal in box planters and keep them on my deck, right by the door for easy cutting right from the box to the kitchen!!

Lessons & tips: I wish now I had put in Raised BEDs and Will have to eventually change all the beds to raised beds.

Resources: Looking for free topsoil and manure was a good idea! 
AND Next yr Im trying this tip...put down newspaper in the aisles and cover with straw to keep weeds down!
