I recommend you also track soil moisture levels. This is easy to do with a capacitive moisture sensor. Here is their how-to guide, and here is the demo code on GitHub.

Write a program that can measure lux. I am currently using an Adafruit APDS9960 for one project, but am measuring individual red, green, and blue intensities rather than lux. Adafruit has a how-to guide for this, and for almost everything they sell. The demo program that Adafruit provides with that sensor does this for you. You could literally use their demo program without any modification for this step.
