Jaypop30~ Its EASY...and theraputic in my humble opinion...Just follow the directions on the packet of seeds or the flowers.(Actually I would advise u to get planting and watering info online) Just make sure it gets the right amount of light and water needed for its particular type of plant. They grow and mature and so beautiful! Fall is always a little depressing to watch everything die, but if they are perenials they are back in Spring! Whoohoo! As far as house plant go, OVERwatering generally kills them. Unless they are a tropical plant that need a lot of moisture. Let us know what u decide, k?
