Like every year, there are many people that want to try and pick up gardening. This year I decided to give it a go. I didn't know how to start it off when I tried, so I decided it would be best to make this to help out others that are wanting to try out gardening from home, but don't quite know where to begin.
First off, you won't need to go out and buy a lot of equipment. It's best to start off small so that you can get used to gardening and don't make any expensive errors. Also, you may find out that gardening isn't for you, so you now won't need to worry about any money being wasted.
So, all we are going to do is plant a flower. This is the best start as it is simple and cheap. All you will need is a plant pot, some soil, a trowel and sunflower seeds. I'd also recommend wearing gloves to avoid any mess, but this isn't necessary.
The first thing you need to do is fill the plant pot with the soil. Use the trowel to scoop the soil into the pot until there's roughly 3cm (linch) of space left at the top.
Then use the trowel to make a small hole in the middle of the soil in the plant pot. The hole should only go as deep as about half way down the plant pot.
Now it's time to plant the seed. All you have to do is put one seed in the hole and then fill it up with the soil.
Finally, finish off by pouring a small amount of water on the soil to moisten it and help the flower to grow. After this, leave the pot somewhere where it can get access to sunlight. Every few days, go back and pour a small amount of water on the sunflower and over time you should begin to see the flower grow.
