Getting started in gardening is amazing but it can also be daunting and overwhelming. New gardeners are so worried about doing things RIGHT that sometimes they don’t even try! So in order to help remove barriers and inspire any new gardeners I wanted to share the 10 things that I wish someone had told me when I first started gardening.

Great tips. One thing I would add is for beginners to TRY to not get carried away. Start out with just a few plants and see how that goes. If it goes well, you can add on next year
Enjoyed your video. Thanks so much.
Great tips
You are a great guy my friend OUR LITTLE SUBURBAN FARMHOUSE, but most of all a good teacher. You also came across as very genuine and willing to share all that you know. May you grow in wisdom, I wish you abundant crops, happy gardeniiiiiiiiiing!!!
I love a good top 10 list. I would love sometime hear your top 10 gardening fails and successes.
I am a newbie; this year will be / is my first time. I think she forgot 2 very important ones, 11th gardening its very addicting and 12TH ( I learn this the hard way) if you need to buy soil , gardening can get very expensive.
i killed my daughters chia pet, no lie lol.. every year the poor kid would bring home a plant from school she grew herself for mothers day for me, and i killed them too. lol … finally one year, she said "mom, this flower is for you, but im giving it to miss pat next door bc she won't kill it, but she already said you can visit it any time you want. " lol… now 10 yrs later, I no longer kill chia pets, and all the plants, (just some) lol So your number 1- black thumb made me smile, bc for the longest time, that's what i thought about my growing ability lol TKS for this video.
