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.
