Hello and welcome, this thread gathers useful ressources listed for you to get started with gardening:

- Make a map of your available space to grow
- A few techniques of farming with minimal maintenance:
- Optimize your frequency of harvests by spreading out germination cycles and by getting different varieties that mature at different periods
- Get seeds at your local store and let a couple of each plants go to seeding phase to get your own seeds for next seasons
- Make a few water reservoirs (ponds, water tanks, be creative) to always have water for your garden during warm days

Monitoring your garden can also be done with various IoT devices. If your garden is far from home, you can use a LoraWAN device to communicate remotely
