I'm starting a garden for the first time and need recommendations for flowers and green plants that are safe for pets. What should I consider planting?

It sounds like a fun adventure! First, think about what type of garden you want—flowers, veggies, or a mix of both. I suggest starting with a simple raised bed. It can be intense, but it’s quite rewarding!
I love tulips, but in Massachusetts, I have to wait until late April to plant because of the frost. But I also noticed cucumbers thrive for me. Just be careful with those pests like bunnies—they drive me nuts!

I have a raised bed too! I'm looking for a mix of flowers and veggies to save some cash for my dream trip to Singapore. If you’re into veggies, try cukes; they did really well for me last year!
