That should get you started. Don't hesitate to ask more questions.
Do keep in mind that paying attention to the soil (when planting in the garden) is most important. Healthy soil that has been amended with compost will give you healthier plants that will be better able to withstand stress, pests and diseases.
Knowing your hardiness zone will be helpful.
