I'll give you the same advise I recently took to heart and started following for my hobbies: don't wait until you can make it perfect. Start working on the garden you can do right now...er next spring?

If you start small now, you can start enjoying it now, then you can build up your experience, skills and tools, and once you have the time and money for the epic garden you want, you'll also have the skills to absolutely make full use of it!

I'm doing the same thing with model railroading. I've been waiting for the perfect time to start on my first model railroad as an adult. A few weeks ago I finally said "fuck it" and bought a door at the hardware store and some mounting hardware. I'll have a car I can fit a 4x8 sheet of insulation foam into in a couple of weeks so then I can get rolling and start building a nice little starter layout and enjoy that right now. Then later on I can build something bigger and better (plus have more skills and experience under my belt to do it better!)
