My Top 3 Challenges in My First Year of Gardening

Given that I had no experience gardening, it should come as no surprise that I ran into my share of challenges in my first year in a garden.

Thank goodness for Google and Facebook. Both were great resources.

Here are the biggest challenges I had last year in the garden:

1. Not knowing whether a bug was “beneficial” or “harmful.”
There are entire books on insects and their effect on the garden. I haven’t read any of them – yet. I didn’t even know there was an entire science behind what to plant and locating certain flowers and herbs to attract or ward off insects.
