  6. Water properly: Water is essential for plant growth, but overwatering or underwatering can both be detrimental to your garden. Be sure to water your plants deeply and consistently, and adjust your watering habits based on weather conditions.

  8. Protect your plants: Pests and diseases can be a major threat to your garden, so it's important to take steps to protect your plants. This might include using natural pest repellents, such as garlic or chili pepper spray, or applying organic pesticides as needed.
  9. Monitor and maintain: Keep an eye on your garden regularly to monitor the health and growth of your plants. This might include weeding, pruning, and checking for pests or diseases.
  10. Don't be afraid to ask for help: Gardening can be a complex and sometimes intimidating hobby, but there are many resources available to help you succeed. Don't be afraid to ask for advice or assistance from experienced gardeners or local gardening organizations.
