I grew up with my family being vegetable gardeners. Some for hobby but I am sure it was for the need for fresh food and food they could feed their family on.
I never really had an interest until now that I own a home and we have a family. I don't have the slightest idea on how to get started. I want to do some vegetables but also would like to do some yard work with flowers.
My kids are wanting to help which I think is wonderful. I home school all three of our children and have since day one. Now they are entering high school and middle school ages. I am pleased they have an interest in gardening.
I just don't know how to get started. Do I need special soil? Are there better plants to start with that are easier for beginners?
I have done the basics of tomatoes, but that is it. I am really a beginner! Any ideas of helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
