I will begin my story with the fact that although my post is called Beginner’s Guide to Gardening it is not a clear guide to your actions in the matter of illuminating the land and gardening, but these are my thoughts first of all for myself after analyzing everything that I knew about gardening in the practical and theoretical plane of this matter.

Although I spent most of the weekends of my childhood and youth with my parents at the dacha helping them with gardening and vegetable gardening I do not have a diploma in agronomy but I am interested in this topic.

Especially it became interesting to me closer to half a century of life when I thought about moving from the city to the village.

Speaking about Beginner’s Guide to Gardening, various kinds of reference manuals come to mind in which you can glean a lot of new things for yourself and see many terms that are incomprehensible to novice gardeners.

For an ordinary person, for example there is no clear understanding of how the quality of the soil watering and fertilization affect the development of plants.

The difference between varietal crops and their hybrids may be unclear.

Speaking about myself I want to plant everything in my garden!

Lol, there are moments that are not described in reference literature and often even in videos that experienced gardeners shoot you will not see warnings against the mistakes you can make.

And the main mistake is the wrong attitude towards your own time which you can spend on something and you can’t buy it again in the supermarket but you will not get the desired result.

Therefore I think that the most important part of this undertaking should be the desire to balance the time spent and the harvest received and for this you need to pay attention to some points and forget about something for a while discard it as unnecessary at the initial stage.

Our attitude to business.

What to plant?

Our attitude to the matter.

So, I or you bought a plot of land in the village, or near it.

Where do we start?

Let's start with the fact that you need to define your attitude to gardening it will be your hobby on which you can really spend a lot of time and enjoy it regardless of the outcome of this matter or your garden and vegetable garden will become your food support or something that will strengthen this support this is important.

As a hobbyist I would try to plant in the garden whatever I want in the hope of pleasing myself with new discoveries.

And if you look at the garden from a practical side then I would act differently.

Here, most reference literature seems to be counting on the fact that all gardeners are hobbyists lol and in fact like an advertising brochure they lead us in a certain direction advertising plant varieties and hybrids various types of fertilizers and plant feeding and means of combating pests and weeds.

I think that if we want to get a proper harvest on the land that we know nothing about yet the wisest thing to do would be to walk around the village and talk to the locals.

Moreover sometimes it is much more useful to talk to gardeners whose income cannot afford to buy the body of a truck of humus who do not have greenhouses but grow all crops in open ground.

They know exactly which crops are resistant to the conditions of this area and it will be useful to buy seed material from these people for example potato tubers which they grow.

Also during such a walk around the village pay attention to the crowns of fruit trees, if you see obvious signs of tree diseases and these can be twisted or perforated leaves or some incomprehensible growths on the trunks of trees then it would be better to exclude such types of trees from the list of desired trees in your garden since your trees will also be susceptible to these diseases.

This topic is probably endless lol for today I will limit myself to what I have already said.

Enjoy reading and a big harvest to you!
