One thing about gardening skill is it's pretty easy to recognise -- if one of your neighbours has gardening talent, that'll probably be easy to see. Many people respond well to requests for help in gardening -- seeds are easy to come by if fruit is in season as is gardening know how. It's more FUN with friends. With veggies you can just plant at random near enough - lots of failures will equate to lots of learning. Fruit trees are a longer term thing, so good to get a bit of consultancy beforehand in case you realise only after years that you wish you'd planted something else there. If you're not in a city now, you could practice growing in packets and build up a stock for guerilla gardening in the neighbourhood.

Thank you for such an upbeat tone but unfortunately it's just a bunch of potato growing hillbillies here. I'm already on the next level and it's only my second year here. This year I arranged some raised beds paired with anti-bird netting, drip irrigation, compost bins, liquid manure and so on...None of them do this stuff. They get a tractor with a plough and a tractor with manure and they just plant stuff that needs little to no watering at all. I'm also working on hedging the bordering fences....It's a lot lol. Next year I would like more raised beds and some greenhouse setups to try and at lest get some strawberries before June ffs...:D What do you plant, any pics?
