Total novice gardening book

[DontFundHate]

Hello, I'm interested in trying gardening, most probably growing pot plants and some fruit and veg. I know absolutely nothing about gardening and feel like a very basic, week by week, month by month guide telling me exactly what to do and how would be so useful. Can anyone recommend a book? Or failing that a website? I'll be doing this with my toddler so could even be a kid's book (I know that little!!) Thanks so much

Forgot to mention, I'm interested in eco friendly ideas too, but only very easy ones! Thanks!

Ooh following!

Alan Tichmarsh did a series (3 I think)of books published by the BBC.
I got no 1 for DS when he had his first garden.
He doesn’t listen to Mum! 😁

Thank you. Had a quick look and even that seems daunting maybe I just need to get a child's book!

Why not describe your garden at the moment and ask for help from this forum?
What is the size of your garden? Lawn? Paving? What area are in the sun?

Because that would mean I have to actually do something rather than just read about it yes you're right of course

Pick three veg that you are interested in growing ...buy some seeds..Google sowing and planting out..concentrate on them....don't try and do too much at once. .autumn is good for planting up bulbs...do the same in autumn..

I'd like to find a book like this too, or a course. I'd really like to learn about how to garden and where to start but everything just looks so overwhelming and all the websites I find seem to assume some prior knowledge. I need a real 'start here' for dummies type thing.

I spoke to a colleague and it seems we're making the same mistakes he made when starting out - picking random plants from garden centres and shoving them in and not understanding how to do a proper planting scheme. I'm not sure how to cure my inexperience though as still have no clue where to start...
