Let’s face it, starting a garden for the first time can be hard. We have all been there, overwhelmed and not knowing where to start. If I had it to do, all over again, I would probably start a lot more laser focused. Truth be told ever since I grew my first tomato, I wanted to grow EVERYTHING and ANYTHING, didn’t matter in my grow zone or not. This lead to a lot of losing but also a lot of learning. Then I started learning more about growing zones, cold hardiness, native plants and so forth. So learn from my mistakes. If you are starting a garden for the first time, grow what you eat and grow what does well in your area. If you are a seasoned gardener, what some of the challenges you faced early on? Enjoy life, enjoy family and enjoy your garden! #gardeningtips #howtogarden #organicgardening #northtexasgardening #urbangardening #gardeningcommunity #zone8b #mastergardener
