Gardening🪴👩‍🌾🎃

I am the last person you would expect to have a garden. I can’t keep plants alive and i have killed many orchids. This past summer i decided that i wanted to have a garden so i did all of the research and started a garden. I went to Home Depot and bought soil, mulch, flower beds, and i went to Starbucks for coffee grounds for the garden. I started the seeds i purchased in a little kit i got from target. And after 4-5 weeks i was able to move the plants from the starter kit into the flower beds! The first layer in the beds was a mesh net that prevents weeds, twigs, mulch, and then soil with plant food mixed into the mix. What should i grow next time i do my garden?#garden#summerbod #bodytransformation #embracevulnerability #unfiltered #Lemon8Diary #healthylifestyle2024 #lemon8bookclub #travelwithme2024 #GREEN @Lemon8 US @Lemon8 Edu @Feature Guide @Lemon8 Fitness @Lemon8 Home @Lemon8 BookClub @Lemon8 Career @Lemon8 Beauty @Lemon8 Food @Lemon8 US

... Read moreGardening can be a rewarding hobby for anyone, even if you think you lack a green thumb. Start small by choosing easy-to-grow plants like zucchini and radishes, which I found to be quite forgiving. Zucchini thrives in various conditions and can produce abundant yields, making it a great choice for beginners. It’s essential to note that zucchini needs space due to its sprawling nature. Additionally, radishes are quick to grow and can be harvested in just a few weeks, perfect for building your confidence as a gardener. To enhance your gardening experience, consider creating a simple compost pile at home. Using kitchen scraps like vegetable peels can provide enriched soil, benefiting your plants. Investing in good soil with the right amendments, including nutrients, will significantly impact your garden's growth. It's also beneficial to join local gardening clubs or online forums where you can ask questions and learn from experienced gardeners. Finally, keep a gardening journal to track your progress, noting what works well and what doesn't. This will help you make informed decisions for future planting seasons, bringing you closer to a flourishing garden with each attempt. Happy gardening!
