A couple of ideas when you're just starting your garden and want to stay on budget.
To start, decide exactly what you can afford to spend on your garden to start with and stick to it.
Take just part of your garden - (divide up in sections) and begin with one part of your garden first.
Absolutely do the work yourself. It will save you TONS of money!
Don't ever scrimp on soil preparation - Great soil just makes for healthy plants that you don't have to replace down the road.
Buy plants in the fall (or late late summer) and buy smaller potted plants; like plants in four inch pots for instance. Small plants grow. All nursery stock goes on sale at the end of the season and you can get some great buys on everything from hardscaping (like bird baths, etc.) to plants.
And last but not least, if you're not having fun, then you're never going to create a space that you enjoy being in!
