Why did I choose gardening?

I have always loved nature, but my real interest in gardening appeared when I first tried to grow tomatoes on my plot. The feeling when you pick a ripe, warm from the sun fruit that you grew yourself cannot be compared to anything! This inspired me to continue, study, experiment and create my own cozy corner of greenery.

First steps in gardening

If you are just starting out, here are some tips:

Choose simple plants. Start with those crops that do not require complex care: lettuce, radishes, greens, strawberries.

Get to know the soil. Good soil is the key to success. Before planting, it is important to know what fertilizers your plants need.

Make a plan. Divide the area into zones, taking into account the lighting and needs of the plants.

Don't be afraid to try. Sometimes mistakes are the best teacher. Gardening requires patience, but it is worth it.

What do I grow?

My plot has vegetables, berries, herbs and flowers. For example:

Vegetables: tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers.

Berries: raspberries, strawberries, currants.

Herbs: basil, dill, parsley, cilantro.

Flowers: roses, lilies, dahlias.

Every new season I try something new. For example, this year I decided to plant grapes and I can already see the first ovaries!

The joys and challenges of a gardener

Gardening is not only pleasure, but also difficulties. Pest control, vagaries of the weather, lack of time - all this happens. But nothing compares to the joy when your garden pleases the eye, and the harvest fills the table with tasty and healthy products. Gardening is my passion, a way to relax my soul and an opportunity to be closer to nature. If you have long dreamed of your own garden - start! Even with a couple of pots on the windowsill. The main thing is love for plants and the desire to create beauty around you.
