Starting a market garden. What do I need to know?

[adewilliams]

Hi gang! My husband and I are closing on the lot next door to us late this summer. It has a tiny house (it was probably the original tiny house) on it at the back of the lot and very large frontage. I've been kicking around the idea of starting a cut flower market garden for a couple years now, and I think now could be the time and the lot would be perfect for doing this. However, I'm not really sure how I should get started (other than growing!). I should mention this lot is smack dab in a residential neighborhood in the city of Atlanta. Fortunately, Atlanta is pretty forward thinking when it comes to urban agricultural, but I want to hear from experienced growers. What should I consider? What's the best way to get started? Am I just crazy? Thanks for your input!
