If you’re about to start a garden and
you’ve only got time to watch one video on YouTube today, it has to be this one
because in the next 15 minutes I’m going to show you 15 most common beginner gardener
mistakes that every single beginner gardener makes but nobody is talking about. How do
I know this list of mistakes? Because I personally have made them all, and over the
last 10 years, I have watched so many of my students and clients make the exact
same mistakes. So, if you make it to the end of this video, together, we’re going
to save a ton of time, a whole lot of money, and a ton of frustration, so
let’s get into it. Mistake number one is starting at the hardware store. Oh, my
goodness, I did this. I just got in my car and drove to Home Depot the second I
wanted to start a garden. Listen, if you start at the store, you’re going to make
so many mistakes, and you’re going to spend way too much money on things you
totally don’t need. stores are literally set up for us to make impulse purchases and
that is exactly what you’re going to do if you start at the store. Don’t start at
the store. Start with a plan. Start at home. Start in your yard. Walk around.
Start to picture and plan and dream of the garden you want to create. Don’t go to
the store for many, many weeks to come until you’ve got the whole thing planned
and mapped out. You’ll save a ton of money and a lot of frustration. St. number two
is starting with just one plant. Most of the advice out there on the internet is
to start small, to start simple, to start with just one plant. But I think that’s a
recipe for quitting. In fact, most people I know that start with just one plant,
they’re not gardening anymore. The reason why is just one plant is going to be pretty
boring. And it’s also going to limit your learning. If you instead grow a few
different types of plants all together in the garden, it’s going to keep the garden so
much more interesting and bonus these plans actually work together to benefit each
other in the garden. When you grow a wide variety of plants in your garden like
leaves and roots and fruit all together you get this magic combination that protects
your soil makes it easier to keep the garden watered and it gives you so much
more to enjoy and learn from in just one single season. The third mistake is to
buy cheap. Listen So many of us start a garden because we want to save money when
it comes to groceries. But that doesn’t mean we should opt for the cheapest
version when we’re setting up our garden. There’s a saying my grandpa used to say
to me, which is the cheap pay twice. And that’s definitely true when it comes to
setting up your garden. Instead of trying to buy the cheapest thing possible, you
want to get the best quality that you can afford. So when it comes to soil and
seeds and plants and tools, raised beds, trellises. Simply get the highest quality
material that you can afford. That way you’ll get to enjoy your garden for
years to come and you don’t have to keep buying the same cheap thing over and over
again. Mistake number four is buying way too many seeds. Oh my goodness, how many
times have I done this? When you get a seed catalog or you head to the nursery,
you’re going to see all kinds of seeds and you’re going to want to buy every
single one of them. But trust me, this leads to a ton of waste and a lot of overwhelm.
When you’re first buying your first sets of seeds, hear it from me, you only need
to buy seeds for growing things like leaves, lettuces and greens, and growing
some root crops like radishes, beets and carrots. All the other seeds for the fruit
and crops, things like tomatoes, peppers, ed plants, those that get us real excited,
they’re fun to buy but they’re hard to start, especially for a beginner gardener.
So skip the fruit seeds and just buy seeds for greens and roots, maybe for
some peas and beans, and that’s it. Hold yourself to those small purchases. At
the beginning, you’ll have so much more success. You’ll plant every seed that you
buy and you won’t waste all that money. Mistake number five is starting with
tomatoes. Oh, I definitely, definitely did this. Listen, tomatoes are so exciting
to grow in the garden, but they’re one of the hardest things to grow. They’re finicky.
They take a really long time to produce fruit, and by the time the fruit comes,
a squirrel takes it. It’s so overwhelming and frustrating, and there’s a lot of
easier plants to grow first. That’s why I wrote my book, Leaves, Roots, and Fruit.
You start with the leaves, graduate to roots, and then you can do tomatoes later
if you want. So buyer beware, if you start with tomatoes, you’re probably
gonna be frustrated and you may give up on gardening. So start with leaves first. Number
six, starting with containers and pots. I have so many clients and and students
say, “Oh, Nicole, I’ll never learn how to garden. I can’t even keep things in a pot
alive.” And I’m like, “Me neither. The hardest kind of plant to keep alive is
one that’s growing in a container. You’ve got nothing in nature working for you.
The whole container is dependent on you. You’ve got to water it. You’ve got to have
the perfect soil in here. You’ve got to babysit this thing to keep it alive, and
that’s really impossible for a beginner gardener. Instead, you want to start in a
small raised bed or actually directly in the ground. Both options are so much
easier than starting in a container. And if you want to find some great raised beds,
we have a ton of them in the Gardenary shop, and I’ll put a link for that right
below this video. But whatever you do, don’t start in a little pot like this
one. Mistake number seven is expecting perfection. I cannot tell you how many
students and clients that I’ve had who are so upset that things didn’t work out picture
perfect like they look at the grocery store. But listen, the garden is the best
way to experience nature and what is the most magical part about nature? It’s
unpredictability. Why do we love playing games and doing things that take risks? It’s
because something inside of us actually loves the unknown. Something inside of us craves
the possibility that we could wake up tomorrow and things might be surprising.
And that’s exactly what you get in the garden. Not perfection but dynamic change
that’s so entertaining, amusing, and surprising. Mistake number eight is not
tying gardening to your daily schedule or fitting it in with an existing habit. Imagine
getting yourself a brand new puppy and not figuring out how you’re going to have
time to walk it or feed it or play with it. That puppy would be pretty unhappy
and so would you after just a few doors. And the same is true with your garden.
These are living things. These are plants that need your time and attention. They
don’t need much, but they are going to need you to fit them into your daily routines.
I love to use the phrase don’t go inside yet. So I try to find little activities
in my day where I’m coming back from a walk or coming in from the store or
picking up my kids. Any kind of thing where I’ve been outside and instead of going
straight indoors, I tell myself don’t go inside just yet. I take a little step
outside into the garden, do something in just five minutes, and that’s how I make sure
that my garden continues to grow and thrive, even when I don’t have a lot of
time. It took me a while to figure out how to fit the garden into my own busy
life as a mom of four and a business owner, but once I figured out the system,
I decided to create a book about it, and that’s called The 5-Minute Gardener. It’s
now out everywhere books are sold, and you can get your copy. I’ll put a link right
below this video. Mistake number nine is not thinking about your meals. Have you
ever taken some time before you start to plan or plant your garden and look at
the things you love to eat. Look at the recipes that you love to create, things
that have been passed down through your family or just routine meals that just
you continue to love to make. Look at the ingredients and see what things in those
recipes that you could actually grow. Things like basil or arugula or peppers or onions,
garlic, very simple plants that often we overlook when it comes to buying seeds
or plants, but they’re the things that we most commonly use in the kitchen. That’s
why I created our Gardenary Planner. This allows you to look at dishes and sides
and sauces and salads that you can make each and every season so that you can
plan your plants in the garden to be sure that more of your plants don’t get wasted
out in the garden and instead end up on your plate in the kitchen. Mistake number
10 is not prioritizing your soil. I have seen so many people set up gardens online
where they spend a ton of money and time and attention on their raised beds, on
their trellises, on all of the setup, and then they throw all kinds of crazy things
into their beds to create soil. Listen, the soil is the most important part of
your garden. Everything you see on top is a reflection of what’s happening underneath.
If you’ve only got time and money to prioritize one thing when it comes to
setting up your garden, let it be the soil. I give you my full breakdown on how I set
up a great soil blend in my own garden using only natural materials, and that’s
in my book, Kitchen Garden Revival, chapter four. I’ll put a link to it right below
this video. Number 11 is being surprised by pests. I have so many friends, clients,
students are like I started gardening but the squirrels ate it, the deer got it,
the groundhogs got it, I have a ton of aphids, oh the caterpillars. They’re
completely shocked that there’s wildlife that actually wants to eat their plants too.
Listen the wildlife surrounding your home or your garden, they’ve only had grass to eat
up until now. So of course they’re going to be interested in all the things that
you’re putting into your garden. Don’t be surprised by pests. It’s just part of the
garden experience. Don’t think about pests after you set up your garden. Think about
pests right now as you’re setting up your garden. Save yourself a bunch of surprise
and a lot of disappointment. Mistake number 12 is using fertilizer in your garden. So
many beginner gardeners start with that stuff called Miracle-Gro. I made a whole
video about why you shouldn’t use it, but this stuff ruins your garden. It really
taxes your soil. It creates this runoff that destroys the environment, and it stresses
your plants. It asks your plants to grow really big and fast and productive in
an unnatural way. So don’t use synthetic fertilizers. Instead, focus on what we’ve
talked about already, the soil. If you focus on building great organic natural,
nutritious soil, your plants are going to grow like a miracle without the fertilizer.
Mistake number 13 is using mulch in your garden. I know, I know, all the
gardeners tell you to do it, but trust me, it is a waste of money and it’s a waste of
space. Instead of mulching around your plants, just plant leafy greens by seed.
Those are going to shade the soil. They’ll keep the water intact, and they’ll give you
something productive to harvest instead. Mulch causes lots of problems. It’s a
hiding place for pests and it actually pulls nitrogen from your soil as it decomposes.
So it’s just really not worth the time and effort when you could be growing tons
of arugula, spinach, and lettuces underneath your plants instead. Number 14 is using
pesticides in your garden. Listen, there’s actually no such thing as pesticide. It’s
actually insecticide, meaning every time you spray, you’re not just killing the bad
bugs, you’re killing the good ones too. I have had so many clients and students
that freak out at the first sign of a bug in their garden and they just spray the
whole thing to death. Their plants suffer, their whole garden suffers, and lots of
innocent bugs die in the process. So you don’t need to spray four pests; instead
you need to learn how to control them organically. And we’ve got an incredible
coming up in just a few days. That’s going to show you how to do that. So be on
the lookout for that one. And the most ironic of the mistakes, mistake number 15
is searching YouTube for answers about your garden. If you find yourself scrolling for
hours watching one YouTube gardener after another, you’re going to have what we call
analysis paralysis. You’re going to have way more information than you need, and
it’s just going to leave you dazed and confused. Instead, you just need one
gardener who knows your local climate, understands a great garden system, and can
teach it to you. And that’s why we train gardener consultants around the world. In
fact, if you want to find a consultant in your area, you can go to Gardenary.com,
click on that Find a Consultant tab, we’ll match you up with a consultant that knows
your climate and how to garden in the exact place where you’re trying to grow
your own. And by the way, if you’re watching this and you are that experienced
gardener who knows how to grow in your own climate, then you should definitely
become a gardener consultant. We’ll put a link for you to do that right below
this video. Believe it or not, all these mistakes can be prevented by just giving
yourself about five minutes a day to take care of your garden. And that’s why I
wrote the book, “5-Minute Gardener.” It is out now, everywhere books are sold, and
you can find out how to order your copy right below this video. Now, do not leave

When you subscribe, it tells YouTube to send this video to lots of other people
who’d be interested in avoiding mistakes in their garden too. Don’t forget to like
and then share this with one or two, maybe three, maybe a hundred of your friends
who need to save money and time and frustration in the garden too. Thank you
so much for watching and being part of the Gardenary Community. I wouldn’t be here
without you. I’ll see you next time.

I am 6 years into gardening. I started few plants, bell peppers, chiles and potatoes none thrive lol. Now I have loads of tomatoes, chiles( varieties) yearly my baby garden . Ever since I grow al kinds of vegetables even corn and watermelons. Haven't grow tomatoes in a pot since it does well in the ground. I sowed most of my plants tomatoes included. Sowed tomatoes, white radish, Asian cucumbers, carrots etc 3 weeks ago it's looking good! In zone 9. I think to be a gardener you have to have passion if not there is no point of doing it cause it will go no where. Yes lots of work.
We are beginner gardeners and a huge mistake I made last year was purchasing a double unit that could be two shorter beds or one taller one stacked. Still getting used to medical issues, as well as getting older, I fell a few times and was badly injured. Also, some things did not grow very well.
This year, I have stacked them and am using what I learned to do better. Learning and moving forward is key. Nobody knows everything, and we can all learn from each other. Loving your videos and information!
Great video, Gardenary!
I think you should plant things that you will eat and are exciting for you, no hate on this video but we can agree to disagree 😅
I'm going to have to disagree a little with the video. Tomatoes are super easy to grow. If you just plant them and keep them watered you will do ok. You can put them in a bucket, in the ground, or in a raised bed (allow 1 square foot or slightly more). In either of those 3 methods use some decent soil (a mix). Remove the lower leaves and plant them as deep as possible. If you want to get fancy drive an old broom handle (or something similar) in next to the plant and use something soft (like strips cut from an old sock) to loosely tie the plant to it as it it grows. If a person can't do that then maybe gardening isn't for him or her.
Good video for some tips, but then proceeds to gate-keep a lot of information by saying "Buy this book, and this book, oh and this book too.". For example "The soil is so important, invest in your soil if there's anything you do. Buy my book to see what I do to my soil." A little information about the components of your soil mixture would have been nice and very helpful in a video like this, especially when saying "If there's one video to watch about gardening, watch this one.".
Love # 13. Gonna try that this year. Bug control. A flock of English sparrows go through and eat them all twice a day.
I believe in self promotion but come on….upsell, upsell…..no thanks. I like to figure things out on my own so thanks but no thanks.
I think it depends on the type of tomatos if they are hard or not
I started gardening years ago and the first thing I did was start tomatoes from seed. It’s not difficult at all. Buying expensive started tomato plants takes the fun out of it. Even busy people like me can start them from seeds, you’ll learn a ton a long way.
What a cool garden area you have. Raised beds and room between. You know how to plan! 😊
Well, I'll tell you why nobody is talking about it. It's because there are so many other interesting things to talk about.
So many negative affirmations 🥴
My first garden was 40 ft x 15 ft (had no experience at all!) was totally organic, no commercial fertilizer, no pesticides. All the locals told me I would only be able to grow tomatoes & zucchini. We had so much of so many vegs & fruits, I had to give a lot away!!!
i dont agree with alot of this video. I dont think people just starting out should feel confined to certain "easy" or "starting" veggies. they should start and try whatever it is they want to grow and eat. There's no point in growing root veggies if they're not going to eat them. Seed packets are cheap and i dont think anyone can have "too many" dollar tree has them for $1.25 and on clearance at the end of summer, they're 4/1! Grab them all! If one plant dies, you have more seeds to try it again. Gardening is all about trail and error and learning. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to learn what works for you.
Wait, I'm a beginner and I've had great success growing many types of tomatoes that were started by seed….I use the winter sowing method and it works perfectly with tomatoes to get a head start.
I live in zone 4b. I believe the best learning occurs when you experiment to see what your garden beds will do.
Is it bad that I put down mulch? I did your ram board method and your soil method. But on top of the ram board I put the mulch on top. Is that okay?
I actually think tomatoes have been easy to grow from seed.
Coming from an experienced gardener. Most of the stuff you said in this video isn't good advice for beginners. 1 example is you said something is don't start with containers. If the person only has space for containers, that is the best way for them to start and learn. Next you talked about soil. Yes I agree knowing your soil and the needs of soil is good. But don't try to tell someone they don't to use synthetic fertilizers if they aren't trying to be organic. Sometimes using a synthetic fertilizer to get there soil could help the soil. If they don't know how to amend the soil. I guess what I am getting at. You tried to push your books more than try to teach a newbie on how to garden.
This is awful advice, as we all can tell from the other comments. I just watched a narcistic judgement of what others do, which is not what this lady does and she's here to tell you that you're ideas aren't as good as hers.
Thank you ❤
The whole video was just about her trying to sell stuff lol she even tells you not to watch other youtubers, I'm outta here 🤣
I feel like I just watched a 12 minute ad
I disagree with tomatoes. Starting from seed might be difficult but if you start from buying little plants, and plant them in good soil- every time I bought them, they produced beautiful tomatoes for us. On the other hand, I struggled with carrots and radishes. We live in a very warm climate, so the things that are easy to grow differ according to climate.
#1 Most people will do some research before starting, and know what to buy.
#2 I've never heard anyone say "start with one plant." Nobody would do that. Who would grow just lettuce?
#3 I agree get the best quality you can afford, but the highest end products are overpriced.
#4 Fruiting plants are no harder to start from seed than any other plant.
#5 Tomatoes are one of the easier plants to grow with just a little research. Almost everyone starts with tomatoes, and gets decent results their first year. In fact I would suggest them as a starting plant because the results can encourage someone to do it again next year.
#6 Container gardening is a good fit for people with limited space. And to say "it's almost impossible for a beginning gardener" is just…I dont know what to say. This is a weird statement.
#7 Yeah. Dont expect perfection in anything.
#8 True. You need to not ignore your garden.
#9 Don't grow things you won't eat. I've definitely made this mistake.
#10 Soil is the most important thing. There are master classes on developing soil.
#11 Yeah pests suck but there is only just so much you can do about it without chemicals that kill everything. The key is to get used to some of your leaves having holes in them. They are still edible. It's just a fact of life.
#12 Synthetic fertilizers do not actively kill the soil microbiome (as commonly thought), they just dont do anything to help build soil life, like organic fertilizer does. It also has no effect on the flavor or health benefits of the final product. Sorry.
It can be used sparingly in conjuction with organic fertilizer in an "emergency" situation. Just keep in mind that your garden is no longer "organic" if you use it.
#13 Mulch is almost univerally considered a benefit to your garden, and almost a requirement for certain plants. If you move the mulch and see a lot of bugs, they are mostly eating the mulch, not your plants. As far as it pulling nitrogen out of the soil…I'm not even sure thats true at all and if it is I haven't noticed a difference, so it must be a minimal effect.
#14 Yeah dont use chemical pesticide in a home garden. Its pointless. Your plants wont be picture perfect, even with the method suggested in this video. But who cares? A leaf with holes in it is still edible. And there are few insects that will eat your tomato or pepper fruits.
#15 Youtube is a great source of information provided by many gardeners who are dedicated to teaching you how to garden. Even if they aren't in a similar climate to yours, almost all of them can teach you something you didn't know.
I say "almost all of them" because there are a lot of clickbait/content farm/scammer channels out there. But anybody with experience on youtube can spot these from a mile away.
I started learning with tomatoes- they are by far the easiest (for me at least), and could only plant stuff in pots because I was in a rental. I had no difficulties with them. And if I accidentally put a plant in the wrong amount of shade/sun while i was learning I could just move the pot which was great!
I agree with you 100%, planing first then shopping so you won’t get overwhelmed and frustrated.
Tomato has been the EASIEST thing for me to grow. Maybe this has to do with location. But I’ve also only ever started them indoors. But I’ve found them to be hard to kill. Peppers were a bit tough. Lettuces were quite easy.
Nice video but I also seen another good video and it's very knowledgeable and it's very very good just watching him 😉 😉wink wink.@igteg

Is this a beginners tip video or a way to sell products?!?
In my experience tomatoes are some of the easiest things to grow. Just my opinion.
I actually find it to be extremely easy growing in pots, but your mileage may vary
mistake 5 – starting with tomatoes.
I did that and it was the easiest to grow, and then I expanded from there..
maybe its because people dont research growing first( I used heritage seeds)
I would add one more mistake people make and that is to grow plants/vegs/fruit etc that are cheap to buy in the supermarket.
Because if your crop fails/goes wring etc and you see the same stuff in the store cheaply, it will discourage you. always grow stuff that has value and uniqueness( you cant get it in the store, like heritage foods), and high value reflects your efforts..
grow food for taste not looks
fertiliser – make your own, and create compost. also sow cover crops during the non growing season, to protect and fertilise your soil.
mulch on top of your soil does NOT pull nitrogen from your soil. That will happen if you bury it( and even then the nitrogen is released back into the soil after buried decomposition and that why it you dont bury it because it robs the plants). the mulch reduces evaporation, smothers the weeds and keeps the top dry which is no fun for bugs. if you have a bug problem then a) live with nature and b) ensure you have their predators around)
mistake 15 searching youtube for answers…
would that not include your own video??
I say go ahead and research youtube and elsewhere, but always verify. there are plenty of permaculture channels out there that are good for research that applys to your garden.
Great Advice 🎉🎉🎉
All the best gardeners say that wood chips ADD nutrition, not take it away from the soil. Also the chips keep moisture in the ground and protect from the sun and wind drying out the ground.
We started with strawberries and greenhouse full of tomatoes and it was awesome tbh. We did not pinch the sucker branches on tomatoes the first year but the harvest was still amazing. The following year we planted some more veggies and this year I am finally planting annual cut flowers as well so I am curious how that will go lol. Thank god for YT and tiktok, I learn so much especially on tiktok!! Last year I had no idea what Dahlias are and this year I successfully split my storebought tubers into 2-3 plants each and I managed to pre-grow them in the greenhouse so now after our last night frost, we were able to transfer them out with leaves already growing. So exciting. 🙂 The only thing that bugs me is the pests – birds, specifically. And unless you cage the beds, there is really no combatting them, right? They ate all our strawberries last year and they killed all my loofah and snow peas seedlings this year. :/
I can’t get to the 2025 Garden Planner. Just takes me to the other books. Are you sold out?
I live in Central Oregon, La Pine, and we are finally getting good weather. Bend and up north I am sure are already growing their stuff!
Just put up a high tunnel my Son bought me 1-1/2 years ago … lol … on a budget.
Would like a couple of raised beds, but will have to wait.
Had to laugh at myself on, when you said, don’t need to buy too many seeds! I would go to Bi-Mart see the seeds and think do I have that? …then buy them 🤦🏼♀️ whoops already have 4 packets! Haha 😂 … my son did the same thing this weekend, he bought radish seeds thinking we may not have any … umm … I told him we have plenty 😂
Loving your video. Just found you, may binge watch ya on my days off! Thanks for the tips. Please let me know about the planner. I need to retire and do nothing but work around my place, but cost of living you can’t! So, we are starting to garden to help.
Oh what brand of soil do you suggest to buy? … and get rid of pests, I don’t want anything toxic.
we started with potted tomatoes. years later we are still gardening. Love growing tomatoes to me they are very easy.
I just planted a tomato in a pot. Clearly I'll regret that 🤣
All my leafs die so far. Started with table scrap onions still going 4 years ,basil green beans a few sad peas and a couple sad tomatoes that gave me a few dozen little ones. Nothing else . Maybe this year I'll get a little more variety. Oh yeah my sage survived and I got a few hard as rock potatos. My basil survived I think 3 years in zone 5B. Except onions and Basil everything was in containers. This year I have a 3x6x2 bed. Next year I'll have another 3x6x2. Thinking about cutting down the hedges and planting blue berries, raspberries.
My mistakes were numerous and varied, from planting times to small containers over water under watering.
I disagree with most of what you say.
For example,
Tomatoes are easy, so is container gardening.
What leafy greens grow in the heat of the summer
Very inspiring thank you
Boy, she is a good promoter for herself and her own products.
I have heard Pine Shavings as an alternative to classic mulch. Any experience with it?
