Welcome to TEG, kittiekat! There is so much more information needed before we can help you with suggestions. What is your growing zone? Are you interested in flowers -- perennial? annual? unusual?, vegetables -- hybrids? heirlooms?, water features, edible landscape, organic? Are you near large body of water, high/low elevation, urban, arid/humid, large acreage or small plot? Knowing all of these (and more) will help us help you.
The best advice I have right now is to start slowly and develop your garden rather than become overwhelmed trying to do to much at once. Get online and start requesting garden catalogs. They are an excellent source of information, help in planning, as well as showing the newest and best plants and seeds available. Depending upon your growing zone you can spend the next months planning, dreaming, and drooling over the catalogs. I know that's what I'll be doing until spring is a lot closer.
Hi Smart Red! Thanks for the response.
Well, I'm from California. I probably want some vegetables to start with. I think they are easier to maintain. And I'll just add on some flowers as the time goes by.
I think you're right by saying I should until spring to try out gardening. I'll just drool over the catalogs while waiting. Hahha
