My number one tip, and the main reason why so many veg gardens don't work: Thin Out!

If you put too many seeds in, you'll get too many seedlings and just not enough space for anything to grow. When I'm teaching kids I get them to stick a full grown carrot in the ground to get them to see that they need to allow that much space per carrot seed or they'll just end up with skinny mini carrots at best or most likely nothing at all. It's so tempting to leave all your seedlings in the ground but be ruthless and get rid of the excess.
