Step 1 is to figure out how much sun you are going to get. The house, fence and trees may block a lot may block almost none. Step 2 is to order a truck worth of compost 3-4 yards aught to do. Btw don’t order the stuff that the uses organic matter from the city waste bins, that stuff sucks has glass and plastic in it and drys out if you look at it for too long.

Step 3 order a couple yards of mulch ideally with manure mixed in for cover.

Step 4 figure out irrigation. Drip irrigation doesn’t work well unless the plants are mature use spray systems and a timer.

Step 5 figure out what you want to plant and how to manage pests, but the supplies ahead of time. You won’t have time to contain the problem otherwise
