I am wanting to start my own little vegetable garden. Organic if possible. How do I get started? How do I know if the soil is adjectives right? What all do I need to profess it?

They give some really easy ways to start an instant garden for the neophyte. Garden in a bag and hay bale gardening are among my favorites. (I simply posted a question on answers to see how others are doing with their hay bale gardens... I've be doing this for 3 years and love it. Anyway, as the answers start coming in you might want to see what other people devise who've done it.)
You can also do the old fashioned tried and true method of tilling up some soil, adding some amendments (compost, compost, etc. which are easy to buy at Walmart, Kmart, local garden stores, etc.)
However, at this stage of the game (assuming you live surrounded by the USA) you're probably going to have to buy nursery plants once you've got your garden site prepared. But at this time of the year the prices are going down too. Just be paid sure you buy good healthy plants that aren't too "leggy."
For your first time you really don't have need of that much: a hose with a sprinkler attachment is nice, a hoe, a shovel, a little appendage trowel, garden gloves, twine, some stakes and you should be off and running. Fertilizer is a good impression, since you want to go organic engender sure you buy one that is.
I love gardening! Good Luck!
