And that means talking honestly about the mistakes that cause so many new gardeners to give up before they ever really get started — including the number one mistake I made myself in one of my first years of gardening. In this video I am walking you through five common mistakes new gardeners make before they ever put a single plant in the ground. Avoid these and you are already so far ahead of the game. The 5 mistakes we cover: Not knowing why you want to garden Not putting your garden in the right location (and not planning for water with that location) Not knowing how you actually want to garden Not knowing what to actually plant The #1 mistake — trying to do too much too fast Gardening is a skill and like any skill it takes time to learn. The goal in your first garden is not a perfect harvest. The goal is to learn, enjoy it, and come back next year ready for more. Small and thriving will always beat big and overwhelming. This is the first video in a brand new beginner gardener series here on the Provident Gardener and I am so excited about it.
