New to gardening, where to start if probably the question you are asking yourself right now. I know it is a great idea, start your own garden. Now it can’t be that hard, can it??
I don’t know, it doesn’t seem that hard. All you need is some dirt, and some seeds. Or maybe you went to the store and got some plants, already started. That is the best way to go, especially if your just starting a garden for the first time.
Now having a very first garden, is a bit exciting. Your own garden, to grow your own vegetables. Or maybe your not going that far, and just want a flower bed. Or just a planter, or just pretty flowers outside. Now that is great too. Who doesn’t love flowers, and they bring the bees with them too.
We need the bees to pollinate your flowers, either on your flowers or your flowers on some of the vegetables. Bees are a great sign of the progress of your garden.
Where Do You Start??
Now, you say, you are new to gardening where to start?? Hmm, let’s just start to think of what you want to plant. Flowers or vegetables, it is your choice.
Well when I think about a garden, I think of where?? In the dirt, or do I want to go with planters? So last year, I went with planters. Cause I had no success with plants in dirt. So I thought I would try something different.
Hmm, well planters were great!! I watered them, they were located right outside my door. Which was very handy, and I never forgot to water them. But with them so close and well taken care of, guess who else loved them too. The Deer, they loved the well-taken care of plants I was growing. They thought was just for them because they helped themselves.
My tomato plants, didn’t have a chance, neither did my raspberries, some strawberries. I was just waiting for the tomatoes to grow some more, but the deer came. Ate the leaves, and knocked off all the tomatoes. They never ate them either.
So this year, I am planted in the ground garden, and hope all turns out. Deer stay away this time,and my garden will be bigger this year also.
So you can start your garden anyway you want to. Either in the ground or in planters, I may do planters this year. Before you choose, you need to find out what grows well in your area. Most plants are good. You also need to remember, full sun or light sun. Access to water also, and when and how much you need to water. I find that alot goes into doing your garden.
Once you get going, you will eventually have a beautiful flower garden or vegetable garden. It is all up to you and the choice you make. But do remember, enjoy this process. You can have lots of fun doing this, and have something to show for it. I know I want my garden to be better than last year. Last year, it was too hard to water it. Cause my garden was so far away, need to make sure I have lots of hoses this time. So a water set up is good, or a long hose to water your garden. It does need water.
So once you start this, you may be thinking of taking a break, why not a Healthy Energy Drink. Or maybe if that’s not what you want. How about a glass of Fine Wine. Your choice again, whatever your preference is. just enjoy!
