I find that it takes a while before you find comfort in gardening. You have to eventually develop the mindset of "If it dies, it dies."
You also have to learn what grows easiest in your area and not really bother with things that take too much work. Being prepared is also another big one. Having some insecticidal soap on hand is always nice. >

I'm trying to research best plants for my area. I live in a "9a" zone from what i read online. 
what benefit does insecticidal soap offer? I'm taking any advice i can get at this point lol >

thank you so much! i will definitely be looking into to this.
