What Type of Garden Can I Afford to Have?
A person’s financial situation can sometimes depict what type of garden they have the ability to create. Wild flowers can be dug up out of the woods for no cost at all. Creating a garden filled with exotic flowers and plants can sometimes become very pricey indeed. Seeds are also usually much cheaper to purchase than large plants of the same variety.

Where is the Best Location for My Garden Plot?
Finding the perfect spot for a garden can be tricky, especially if you live in an area where the land is very limited. It might be a bit more work, but having a container garden is possible in places where there isn’t enough dirt to grow plants. Container gardens are perfect for people who live in the city as well.

What Tools do I Need to Garden Successfully?

Will I Want to do This Again Next Year?
If you aren’t quite sure as to whether or not you are interested in gardening, you might want to be a bit on the conservative side. For instance, don’t spend lots of money on high-dollar tools that will only get used one year, unless you don’t mind passing them on to someone else who is an avid gardener.
Asking yourself these 5 questions might give you a good idea on how interested you are in gardening. Of course, there are always other signs as well. If you don’t like being outside at all or the idea of digging in the dirt makes you wrinkle up your nose, then gardening might not be your thing. In general, do you already consider yourself a gardener?
