If you want to start a garden, there are a few things that need to be done first before beginning your first attempt at it. Learn what you need to know so that you can get started right.
The first thing you need to do is think about what you want to grow. Many will grow vegetables or flowers for their gardens. These are very different processes in many cases since there are different needs for different types of plants.
