I'm no green thumb but want to be. only tips I might be able to off are:

1. growing kale is fairly maintenance free aside from harvesting the crop, so I recommend this as a fairly easy crop with proper prep; and

2. if you need to protect your garden from deer and other wildlife I recommend finding free wooden pallets around and building a barrier/ fence with them for fairly cheap

beyond this I need help! I don't dedicate the time to a garden I'd like so that's part of the issue and finding good help these days is near impossible
