If you’re new to gardening, one of the first Youtube channels you should check out is GrowVeg. Their videos are short, to the point, and incredibly helpful. No, I’m not affiliated with them in any way, I’m just really impressed with their content.
On their website, they sell a program called the Garden Planner which allows you to map out your entire garden. It tells you how much space each plant needs, when to plant them, how long their growing seasons are, which plants grow well together and which don’t, and much more. Basically, if you’re a beginner, this planner won’t let you screw up.
