It is also a skill that takes lots of practice to hone, and lots of trial-and-error to find the right combination of varieties and methods that best suits you. What works for one person might not work for another.

I've been gardening since I was 4, and had my own vegetable gardens since I was 12. I'm a professional plant-breeder, and yet I'm still learning.
