I don't know why, every plant I tried to grow in my backyard would die or withered eventually. No matter how hard I tried. My co - worker who is a professional on gardening, give me all the instructions, somehow it just won't work for me. Are you good at gardening? What kind of plants do you try to grow at your garden?

I still feel like I have a lot to learn but I have beautiful gardens now. I mostly grow vegetables (tomatoes are my favorite) but I also focus on sunflowers. It's really just about soil, water and the sun. Some plants like a lot of water, some prefer just to be moist. Some want 6+ hours of sun, some can deal with less. You have to learn a little bit about the specific needs of the plant to take the best care of it you can. My garden is mainly focused around tomatoes, but I also have peppers, green beans, peas, lettuce, spinach, beets (this is the only year I'm growing them though), cabbage and cucumbers (both for salads and for pickling). Oh, and I grew catnip for my cats too! Good luck!
