If you're new to gardening and just want to start, then it's not reasonable for you to get a huge garden right from the start.
To understand your level of patience and the amount of free time you're ready to use for gardening, it's always better to start small.
Here are some tips that will help you understand your perfect garden size.
Start Small
Begin with a small garden, especially if you're new to gardening.
A small space is easier to manage and won't overwhelm you.
Assess Your Space
Look at the area you have. Check for sunlight, shade, and wind patterns.
This helps you understand what plants will grow well in your space.
Consider Your Time
Think about how much time you can spend on your garden.
A smaller garden needs less time and effort to maintain.
Choose Easy Plants
Pick plants that are easy to grow, especially for beginners.
Herbs, tomatoes, and flowers like marigolds are good choices.
Container Gardening
If you have limited space, consider container gardening.
You can use pots and containers on a balcony or patio.
Soil Quality
Check your soil quality.
If it's not great, you can use raised beds or containers with good soil to start your garden.
Budget-Friendly
Starting with a small garden is budget-friendly.
You won't need as many plants, tools, or soil amendments.
Learn as You Go
Gardening is a learning process. Start small, observe, and learn about your plants.
As you gain experience, you can always expand your garden later.
Enjoy the Process
Remember, gardening is supposed to be enjoyable.
Starting small allows you to learn without feeling overwhelmed.
Expand Gradually
Once you feel confident and comfortable, you can gradually expand your garden.
This way, you grow your skills along with your garden.
