Novice gardener needs help?

There are a lot of planting a garden. I garden a few years ago and lived, I did a year past and did not. Somebody said, was because it was next to a white wall reflecting too much sunlight (I live in Utah, if that makes a difference too.) Also the year in which they lived was not entirely from seed. I need the basics of gardening (weeding, compost, fertilizer, seed, sunlight, watering and harvest). Probably going to have corn, a pumpkin, zucchini, tomatoes, strawberries and a type of pepper. I do not care if you get a source of a website but believe me I've seen all of them simply do not understand. I like the advice of a senior outfielder. PS do not try any garden jargon on me. I am a student high school (barely has left brain).

Plants need sunlight, adequate soil and water for your garden that was not one of them is. I guess was water in the form of seeds should be kept moist until they send a decent amount of roots to find their own water. Do not let one bad experience put you off. Plants come from all over the world and they need different conditions. Do not let that scare you. Only a little time to read about the seeds we are sowing. Even the back of the package tells you the basics. Zucchini and other squashes, peppers, tomatoes and strawberries require much power. rotted manure, compost bags get the right soil to grow in. Keep watering and use a liquid feed when the fruit arrives, the maize grown in a block of, say 10 or 12 plants close together. Usually you can not put enough manure and compost in the soil. If you have sandy soil which quickly dries the manure will help retain moisture. if you have heavy clay soil based compost to help loosen up and make work easier. You will see better results with the effort. Keep track of moisture in the soil. If dried in a heat wave going to have to water your plants. Keep an eye on the amount of sun your plants are receiving at different times of day. There are lots of shade ornamental plants happy, but a large quantity of plants tend to fight in the shade. Keep an eye on pests such as slugs and birds. The use of birds compensation, if necessary. Gardening should be an anti-stress activity, not a source of stress. Try to enjoy it and good luck!

What are your thoughts of this paragraph of the speech of our commander and chief of the rose garden?

Here is the quote in full Website of the White House. "For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of planned attacks of buildings inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out. "That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people. He said that agents had been instructed to ensure that the bomb exploded on a high - a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping. "EXPLOSIVE! This speech was last week and was told after 9 / 11.
