To create a simple home garden, follow these steps:

1. Choose a spot: Pick a place with sunlight (at least 4-6 hours) and good drainage.
2. Prepare the soil: Loosen the dirt and mix in compost or fertilizer to make it healthy for plants.
3. Select easy-to-grow plants: Start with plants like tomatoes, herbs (basil, mint), or flowers (marigolds, zinnias).
4. Plant seeds or seedlings: Put seeds or small plants in the ground, leaving enough space between them.
5. Water and care: Give your plants enough water and sunshine. Learn how to deal with common problems like pests or diseases.
6. Maintain your garden: Keep an eye on your plants, prune them if needed, and add more compost or fertilizer as they grow.

Start small, and have fun with your home garden.
