1. Choose the Right Location

Sunlight: Most vegetables and flowers need 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Soil: Choose a well-drained location.

Water Access: Place your garden near a water source for easy watering.

Protection: Protect your plants from strong winds or high-traffic areas.

  Plan Your Garden

Determine the type of garden you want:

Vegetable Garden: Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, carrots

Herb Garden: Basil, mint, rosemary, thyme

Flower Garden: Roses, marigolds, sunflowers

Mixed Garden: A mix of flowers, herbs, and vegetables

Start small; it’s better to grow a few healthy plants than too many stressed ones.

 Prepare Your Soil

Test the soil pH (most plants thrive at a pH of 6.0 to 7.0).

Add organic matter such as compost, manure, or mulch to enrich the soil.

Remove stones and weeds before planting.

Loosen the soil to a depth of about 30 cm for vigorous root growth.

  Choose the Right Plants

Choose plants suited to your climate and season.

Start with easy-to-grow plants such as tomatoes, lettuce, beans, marigolds, or herbs.

Buy healthy seedlings or start your seeds indoors.

 Water Wisely

Water thoroughly, but not too often; aim for 2.5 cm of water per week.

Water early in the morning to prevent evaporation and disease.

Use a soaker hose or drip irrigation system for greater efficiency.

6. Mulch for Healthier Plants

Spread mulch (wood chips, straw, leaves) around plants:

Keeps soil moist

Prevents weed growth

Regulates soil temperature

7. Feed Your Plants

Use organic compost or a balanced fertilizer to provide nutrients.

Follow a fertilizer program tailored to your plants’ needs.

Avoid overfertilizing, which can damage plants.

8. Pruning and Maintenance

Cut off dead or diseased leaves to encourage growth.

Stake tall plants to prevent them from falling over.

Check regularly for pests and treat promptly with natural remedies or safe insecticides.

9. Encourage pollinators

Plant flowers that attract bees and butterflies.

Avoid harmful pesticides that can kill pollinators.

10. Harvest and enjoy

Harvest vegetables and herbs when ripe to encourage their growth.

Pick flowers regularly for continuous blooms.

Tips for success

Start small and expand your garden as you gain experience.

Keep a gardening journal (what you plant, when, and the results).

Rotate crops annually to maintain healthy soil.

Be patient: gardening is a learning process!
