How to Start a Garden in 2024?

Gardening is a powerful outlet for creativity, enabling you to surround yourself with beauty. It can provide homegrown food for your family, keep you in touch with nature and is also an invaluable form of exercise. In short, gardening is beneficial to both body and soul. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

It all starts with good soil.

Whatever you're growing, fertile soil is the key. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. It promotes root development, supplying nutrients for plant growth.

Grow vegetables that keep on giving.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}, choose ones you can harvest more than once. Lettuce and basil are quick and easy to grow. They'll replace their leaves every time you cut them. Vegetables like these mean continuous harvests, which is huge for keeping spirits high.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

Some plants will grow tall and some will grow closer to the ground. Tall plants will shade shorter plants and prevent them getting needed sunshine. Also, give little seedlings plenty of room to stretch and grow. If they grow too close together, don't be afraid to thin seedlings.

Save money with seeds and cuttings.

Buying all of your plants from the garden center is expensive. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Reach out to friends and family who garden and ask them to share spare seeds with you. Also check to see if they have any plants you can take cuttings from. It takes longer than buying young plants, but it is definitely more satisfying and you will learn so much.
