Gardening newbie

Just documenting my flower-growing journey here.
I’ve recently started growing several types of flowers, and they’re slowly sprouting. It’s been ages since I last planted anything, so I’m really looking forward to seeing them bloom soon. But because of work, I haven’t been able to water them on time. The weather where I live is pretty unpredictable—sometimes it’s super sunny, other times it’s overcast or even rains for days. Because of that, the plants are growing a bit slower. I even spotted some mushrooms popping up in the soil! I asked someone with more experience, and they said it’s harmless, so I’m just leaving them be.
My family bought a sprinkler controller (never heard of the brand hioazo before—apparently they just grabbed it on sale, lol). I’m planning to follow a tutorial video to set it up… hopefully it won’t be too complicated!
By the way, does anyone know how to keep tiny flies and snails out of the soil without using chemicals?

The plants I'm growing haven't been growing much taller, possibly due to the bad weather, and it also tends to attract small flying insects. Now that I've installed an irrigation system, at least I don’t have to worry about watering anymore. Hopefully, the seedling will grow faster soon!
And share some pics :D
