I'm no skilled gardener (obviously since I can't even identify what I'm growing) but I've found that the consistency of having the sprinklers water the garden every single day, and pulling weeds when I can, really makes it easy.
I have successfully grown about 200 tree cuttings to about a foot tall, at which point, they all died suddenly. The aspen I planted this spring looks like poo, mostly because it got shredded by hail several times this year. I do get to kill some grass since I have some settling issues from where they back filled around the house, so at least I get to kill that on purpose.
