Beginners Gardening

Hello friends ....I love Gardening but you know i have no clue how to start and how to take care of plants ( living things) as i have no knowledge about gardening even during my childhood i never tried any or taken care of anything such that ....But now i am very proud that i am able to take good care of my garden. Lets start with what i did this year and the things helped me very much.
If anyone is interested in learning about growing plants from seeds then please watch below video
If you live in US then - in this below video i shared how to save money in Gardening you can watch it.


Lets discuss about Herbs first : Spinach, Mint, Fenugreek (Methi), Cilantro are very easy to grow :
Coming to Spinach since couple of years I am starting it from seeds and in the month of April first week ( March ending ) according to US- East Coast weather.....I plan to start with seed starting kit for Spinach seeds ( In-fact before 2017 yr i only used Potting soil to grow Spinach seeds but if there is Seed starter soil then the seeds will sprout very fast !!!( Its Magic believe me )
Spinach will start during early Spring and it will stay only end of May Month. Spinach doesn't need too much Sunlight. If it is too hot then spinach plant won't survive. So its good to start early every year.
The Straight row you see is all Spinach ( I poured all seeds and it grow sooo good ) remaining plants are beans ( You can read about bean from attached link 
Coming to Fenugreek Its super easy we can grow it in Aluminium foil or any containers that we have in our pantry like you see in below pic (I Used Spinach plastic container we get it from Costco to grow Methi)
Coming to Mint :: Try not to plant mint in the ground close to your house Wall b/c the roots will spread a lot and that's not advisable. So I prefer to do it in a container and its perennial it grows all by its-self once the winter season is over. But The Tip that worked for me is :: Second year - In the beginning the mint that came all by itself was not healthy so
1) First i cut all the stems that they grew
2) added some potting soil
3) Added Banan peal and water in a blender and the Juice i added to the mint container that really helped to harvest very healthy Mint from my containers as you can see in the pic.
Coming to Cilantro......................................................................................................................................
If you have Dhaniya Seeds then break it into two and plant those broken seeds otherwise putiing direct dhaniya seeds won't help us to grow plants. For - Me - I prefer to buy Cilantro seeds from store.

This year fresh Cilantro from my backyard.
