Answers & Discussion
Do not expect perfection. Every gardener kills plants and learns from it. The important thing is to keep observing and adjusting.
Watch your sunlight before planting. I wasted my first season putting sun-loving plants in a spot that was too shady.
Feed the soil, not just the plants. Once I started adding compost regularly, gardening became much easier.
