I live in Southern California (west LA) and I want to start a little summer veggie garden. I was thinking of growing corn, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, bok choy, and ong choy (azn veggies.) This is my first time growing a veggie garden. Do you suggest starting from seeds or clones/transplants? If clones/transplants are recommended; where is a good supplier in the LA area?
Do I need to pH the water and add nutes to the soil? Should I use RO (reverse osmosis water) or tap water? Tap water already has a PPM of 650 in my area so that alone has plenty of minerals, chemicals, prescriptions (haha) to keep the plant healthy, yes?

Any tips would help cause I'm obviously a noob.

Thanks!
I plan on feeding just myself and my hubby so only two people. I have a huge plot of land (soil) next to our condo that is totally available (like 10X10) but I doubt I'll use all that space.

thanks for your help!
 
iVE NEVER GARDENED IN LA BUT I'VE BEEN STATE CERTIFIED IN TEXAS AS A NURSEYMAN. SINCE ITS ALREADY INTO THE SEASON GO WITH SEEDLINGS OR CLONES AS YOU CALL THEM. LOL AND I HAVE FEW QUESTIONS, ABOUT HOW BIG YOU MAKING THIS? IS IT IN THE GROUND OR IN POTS? HOW MANY PEOLPLE YOU WANT TO FEED FROM YOUR GARDEN? ONE TOMATE PLANT CAN YEILD ENOUGH TOMATOES FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR. P LUS CORN TAKES UP SOME SPACE NOW. I WAIT FOR YOUR ANSWERS AND BE GALD TO TRY AN HELP YOU OUT. OK
