    The best part of gardening is that it's experimental! It won't always go perfectly but you learn from each "mistake" and grow your skills over time.

    Hey! The plant with the white flower is called a Yucca :) As for starting a raised bed, I would just wait for the spring at this point. It’s just going to be sitting out there all winter with nothing in it anyways. However, starting with a compost bin is an excellent start and you can do that anytime!
    For beginners I recommend keeping it simple with growing veg. Buy ‘started’ plants in the spring and direct sow seeds outside when the weather is warm enough. Things like beans, carrots and sugar snap peas are all super easy and germinate quickly.
    Sorry for the long comment, but I work in horticulture and love talking about it :) hope this helps and hope you have a great day!

    Seconding someone else's suggestion of the Epic Gardening channel! I also found the Canadian version of the Farmer's Almanac helpful for gardening, and their book on how to start a vegetable garden. Instead of starting directly from seed you can also find little starter plants at places like Home Depot which can be worth the time saved!

    I grew up on a farm and my mom’s garden was massive. Like two city lots size at least! I have become aware to a large degree the free education I received growing up on a farm when I listen to my city born friends talk. I’m so grateful for all I learned because I definitely still use so many farm girl skills. There are so many great homestead and farm channels on RUclips to learn from. I’d suggest joining local garden groups. You’ll find the best tips from others and sometimes score trades of veggies and fruits!

    We have a 5 yr old son and 2 yr old son so we have started with 2 small raised beds. 1 has herbs in it - which hasn’t been very time consuming. The other we have been trying different vegetables to see what works and what we have time for. Sweet potato has been a winner for us. Planted it as seeds and then just let it be with regular watering. The leaves are very pleasing to the eye which is a nice feature

    You can buy punnets of vegetables from your garden centre, nursery. You could start seedlings of those veggies inside near a sunny window, in seedling mix/soil you buy it by the bag. Use a spray mist bottle to give a drink or keep damp. The soil you use in your garden boxes is a mushroom mulch/soil. Many manures throw off weeds which take over. Place rice straw around small plants to keep soil damp, you could hook up your sprinkler system to water when your not home. Your flowering plants will attract bees that will pollinate your veggies & herbs that flower & add taste to salads & dishes ❤😊 Goodluck

    Gardening has been one of the activities I look forward to doing post winter. It is very therapeutic and rewarding.
    For vegetable gardening, I started with the easy ones, tomatoes, basil and peppers (they grow well together too). I add one or two each year depending on my mood 😊 My sister has fruit trees instead of veggies...we swap our harvests. Try it! There's nothing like fresh edibles from your own backyard.

    Yay for the start of your gardening journey! I love it and came to it in my 30s - definitely still learning.
    My tip for beginner gardening is to take it slow, and get to know your garden. Take photos of your garden in all seasons and start a ‘garden task’ notebook to record what you do each month. Start by getting out there with some gloves on, just weeding and noticing (what’s thriving, what’s not, what pests pop up, where the sun hits differently during the day/seasons, dry patches, wet boggy patches etc) just getting to know your garden is a great place to start.
    Greenhouses are only really needed if you plan on growing annual seeds eg vegetables / some flower. Personally I prefer the lower maintenance route of planting perennials (shrubs, climbers, flowers, fruit and herbs).
    Enjoy!!

    My husband planted a garden for the first time this year. Most started as tiny plants but he did plant purple hull peas from seeds and they absolutely are massive now. We’ve got eggplant, green beans, 3 varieties of tomato, red onion, cucumbers, about a million pepper varieties, and a random watermelon plant lol. So many things require staking/supports as the veggies/fruits come in and become tall and heavy. We also have a full herb garden on our deck. When we planted the garden, he bought a truck bed full of dirt from a local place that sells dirt/mulch in bulk. It was only $23 USD lol for an entire full size truck bed filled to the brim. We live in the southeast US so it’s 90+ degrees every day so he has to water daily unless it happens to rain. A sprinkler helps make this easy. He is big on the veggies/herbs being organic so only fertilizes with a fish emulsion bought from a store about 2-3 a month. The weeds are an issue but neither me or him have taken the time to fully weed the garden, and the garden is doing great despite that. I’m more interested in plants and flowers so I’m learning how to care for those both indoor and outdoor. It’s a lot of work but worth it to eat food you’ve grown in your own backyard!

Year 2 is fighting with the wildlife over who gets to eat the produce. 😆 Don’t get me wrong though I still end up with a pretty good harvest each year and it is so satisfying!!! I don’t have the time/space to indoor sow seeds but there are plenty that are easy direct sow and the rest I buy as starts from a local nursery.

    Gardening. Just start. You learn as you go truly. And just ask questions. Gardeners love to share info.
    Garden Answer on RUclips is my fave. Love them 💚💚💚.
    Also your viewers love your authentic content. We enjoy seeing real life stuff. A lot of us have gotten into gardening…there’s a term for it now… learning grandma hobbies
    Welcome to the Gardening Community 💚
    -look into what side your house faces. Find out what side is NSEW and a lot of your planting will either be full sun, shade, or partial and depending on what side your house faces will determine where to plant things. Example I planted my hydrangeas on the north side of my house(the shadiest side) My east side gets morning light until 12-2pm(depending on the season) and the south gets partial sun and west gets sun from noon til sunset(the full sun plants love the west) if there are big trees/structures it will change the light needs of plants. If you’re serious about gardening with fewer find-out as-you-go…ask Dejan to record light throughout the day around your property where you want to plant. Because veggies have a short growing to fruit season, they like full sun. There are also cold 🥦 🥬 .
    I start from seed in my home. I have shelves with grow lights. Start the seeds indoors before frost and then go by recommended planting time (after last predicted frost date(seeds do come with instructions to help😊)
    Also go to your local garden center, people will love to share info on gardening. Some garden centers also have classes.
    Also love hiking. Eating healthy nutritious food. Gardening. Art. Fitness. Skincare. Massage/pedi/facials/bathing(really want to check out those Asian establishments that scrub you down…is that weird?)being feminine/dressing that way but also comfy, reading, learning, enjoying my spiritual journey

Zuccini, Pumpkin, Salad and Carrots always grown here in Switzerland and are super easy to handle this year she planted pak choy and red beet as well, and on the sunny places we have chili, tomato & lemons growing just make sure you have a watering system in place preferrably with a timer setting bc of you busy schedule

    Growing cherry tomatoes is really fulfilling--it's easy and they taste amazing. Adding compost to your soil is needed when growing food...the extra minerals really makes a difference in flavor and sweetness. I like boxed gardens with 100% compost that I bought from a compost place, fertilizer, and glacial rock dust.
    If you grow tomatoes, the trick is to water normally until the green fruit appears, then stop watering as much (like a drought) so that the flavor is maximized--you don't want water-logged or cracked tomatoes. The green part of the plant will look wilted and crunchy, but the tomatoes will be bomb! Eventually the green stems will turn yellow, but you'll still see tomatoes on the vine ripening.
    One thing you have to get used to with food gardening is that the plants *will* die. So harvest them while you can, and don't be sad when the plant dies because the season has ended.

    Contact your local garden centre or see if the local Activity Guide has any classes still going, Alanna. You may have to wait until Winter for that, but it might be worth trying. Aside from that, might I suggest a visit to your library and stocking-up on beginner gardening books and maybe just jumping in and giving it a go? I’ve learned the most through trial and error and remember that nothing starts out being perfect. From a 60 year old gardener who didn’t even look at soil until she was 40 👍🏻
    P.S. don’t kill your spiders! They are great allies in the garden.

    Here are some random hints that I tell clients / have learned from 10 years of profesh gardening
    1) I like to get seedlings off market place because the tedious work is done and the varieties are way more interesting than at a garden works or home depot. Also don't have to fuss around with dirt in the house or putting up a green house the first year.
    2) A THICK layer of arborist chips (look around for a municipal chip pile where you can get them for free, or contact an Arborist company) underneath soil will help build up a mycelia network and keep the nutrients flowing, it also allows you to spend WAY less on soil because you don't need to fill the entire box up.
    3) Start slow, choose your favourite veg and the companion plants (plants that keep pests away from each other) and see how you do. Zucchini , rhubarb, tomatoes, salad greens are all relatively fool proof. Three sisters is also a great growing method and a good place to start to understand the concept of companion planting / what plants provide and take what nutrients.
    4) Don't water ON the leaves - when it gets hot this will create powdery mildew , it can also sunburn your plants and reduce their photosynthesizing capabilities. Instead let the hose run on the ground and move it around so water goes to roots and doesn't collect on the leaves. You can get in ground irrigation but i wouldn't bother your first year.
    5) annual veggies are TOTAL divas, get a couple liquid fertilizers (i get mine at gardenworks, p sure they have them in vancouver too) and follow the directions
    6) keep a little journal - what works, what doesn't, what temp it is at what time (you can get pre-made ones that have prompts)
    7) Above all else, plants want to grow! Don't worry too much about the right way of doing something, it's all about learning what works for YOUR space - your sun, your area's insects, the soil amender you have access too- it's different for everyone. Trial and error are paramount!

    Garden advice: don't overthink it! Good soil is the most important thing. There are probably many local soil suppliers- make sure it has a good amount of compost- I do about 40% compost. Start seeds outdoors *after the last frost* directly in the garden bed as many plants don't like to be transplanted (tomatoes, kale, peppers I never start from seed but buy plants). Keep the soil moist and within a week + you will have sprouts! New sprouts need a lot of water so they don't dry up. After that smooth sailing. Play around, try new veggies, don't take it too seriously. Given enough light, water, and good soil, plants will do their thing!

    If that spot was too sunny, maybe get some small tomatoe plants next spring (growimg from seeds is possible but obv more work) they love the sun!
    and deffo get some new cilantro and try diffrent spots in your garden!

    Keep in mind that when you grow herbs, you want to trim/cut/use them while you can, because eventually they'll "bolt" (flower and seed) and die...until they regrow next year or you replant them. So I wonder if your cilantro truly died, or if it went to seed? It looked so gorgeous last video, but maybe the heat wave did something. Cilantro can grow in full sun, but it needs lots of water like other herbs (get a simple irrigation system).

    Maybe, the powder side of the Patrick Ta blushes can be used as eyeshadow. I always use my products everywhere for a quick monochrome look. You'll never use it up, but at least it will get used.

    Grew up gardening with my mom and then started one of my own a few years ago. But the Book Square Foot Gardening method by Mel Bartholomew. He covers the soil compilations and the way to prepare your beds as well as getting the most out of your square footage. Great place to start. Also for organic gardening I would recommend Beneficial Nematodes lady bugs , neem oil and Spinosaid for pest control :)

    Don't over think growing veg, nature wants to thrive!! It does most of the work for you, just start easy, plant some seeds of veg you'll eat, get some good compost on them and water them now again and let the sun at them and voila you will witness a little miracle 🌱❤

    I also started rewatching Vampire Diaries a couple of weeks ago haha. I used to love it so much and wanted to see if it would bring up the same feels I it did when I was a teenager. It's definitely cheesier than I thought it was but hey... I'm not mad about it. And just as you said, I don't remember there being 8 seasons?! I started season 4 last night and am wondering when I'll get to the point that I don't recognize the plot anymore. We'll see! Happy watchingggg

    Allana, that is so awesome learning how to garden. You are correct in that your first step is finding your zone which is vital. I would watch Garden Answer and their other highlights channels Garden Highlights here on RUclips with Laura and her husband Aaron. They provide a wealth of information and how I got started. Of course, there are others it I can’t start my weekday with watching them. ❤❤

    Maybe put the cilantro where you sit under the shade right outside your door?! There are slits and it will still get some sun? And be the first thing you see which would be cute
