Thanks, Gareth. So prepare yourself to study a lot, observe, try, observe, test, observe and observe...! Your plants will always tell you a story, a story that careful observation will transform in lessons. Try to find experienced growers in the neighborhood. Learn with them, adapt what they know to your condition, use their knowledge as a base to give a step ahead...
And don't give up. Success, most of times is not easy.
Good luck!
