Look… when I first started gardening, I was trying to do way too much. Here’s the real talk I wish somebody pulled me aside and told me:
1. Start small. A couple pots, one bed — that’s enough. Don’t let YouTube have you building a whole farm on day one.
2. Soil is the real MVP! Healthy soil will save you from bugs, stress, and heartbreak. Invest in the dirt first.
3. Stop overthinking and just plant it. You learn by doing. Every mistake is part of your garden story — not a failure.
Drop yours in the comments, fam — what’s one thing you wish you knew?
