<human>: I want to start a garden this year but I don't know where to start.
<bot>: Start by deciding what type of plants you would like to grow in your garden and then researching the best types of soil, sunlight, watering, and fertilizing requirements for those plants. You may also want to consider how much space you have available, as well as any other special considerations such as pests or diseases that might affect your plants. Once you have done your research, you can begin planning out the layout of your garden and decide on what tools you will need to help maintain it. Finally, you can purchase seeds or seedlings and get started with planting!
