Start slowly. If this is your first garden start with just one plant or a few of the same type of plant and a small garden plot. This will help you gain practical experience in things like soil tending and plant care. Wait until you find success with just one plant or group of plants and then try to grow a variety of plants and practice more advanced gardening techniques. Many newbie gardeners take on way too much way too soon and then later they are disappointed when they can't seem to grow a vast array of plant life. Starting slowly and working your way up is the best way to learn how to be a better gardener. Figure out how to tell a weed apart from a plant you want to grow. Lots of new gardeners tend to think that weeds are going to look much different than their chosen garden plants. The truth is that the two often look very much alike. You could end up accidentally "weeding" half of your garden before you realize what you are doing! Learn how to tell the difference before you start planting. This will save you time and heartache later.
Don't use pesticides; use aphids instead. Pesticides are not environmentally friendly and are hard on your plants. They can also be very bad for your health if you plan on eating what you are growing. The best way to deal with pests who eat your plants is to introduce ladybugs loose in your garden. The ladybugs won't do any damage to your plants because they eat the pests that would otherwise wreak havoc on your garden. Pest eaters like ladybugs are fantastic for gardens. These pest controllers are more environmentally friendly. You don't have to worry about accidentally eating them. They also keep your garden pest free!
Lots of people think that gardening is difficult. The truth is that everybody can garden!
Don't let yourself feel scared by the images of gardens you see on television or in gardening books and magazines. You might not be ready to believe this yet but it truly is possible for you to grow the lush gardens you've fantasized about having. Even if you've never had any luck growing plants before, you could still learn how to become an award winning gardener over the course of just a few seasons of planting. Have fun! You'll figure it out!
