Hey everyone! I'm really new to gardening and I'm trying to grow my girlfriend's favorite flowers in our backyard. I have some basic gardening tools, but I'm clueless about what to do. I need help understanding all the terminology I find when I search online. I'd really appreciate any tips or guidance on how to get started!

The first thing you want to consider is how much sunlight each type of flower needs. Different flowers thrive in different light conditions, so it's important to figure out where in your yard gets the most sun. What specific flowers are you looking to grow?
Dahlias are a great choice! Since you're in a high desert area, make sure you pick a variety that can handle that climate. Also, it's beneficial to know that your yard already has lavender and peaches, which might mean your soil is already decent for growing. Just be sure to plant them where they'll get the right amount of sunlight!
