Where should I start?

Actually, gardening doesn't have to be a high-maintenance hobby. This is especially true if you start small.

If you make your garden something of a small, manageable size, like a 4x8 bed, you can mulch it with hay and grass clippings, which will eliminate a lot of weeding. Additionally, you can fit your hose with a timer, put a sprinkler on the end, and have an automatically watered garden.

In addition to this, you can grow plants that are lower maintenance.
