Question: How long would it take to learn the acoustic guitar!?should I teach myself!?or get lessons!?

I just want to play an instrument in my garden and at home as a hobby, lol-- what else!?
It's been YEARS since I've played any instrument though!.
However within a yr!. ended up being 3rd chair clarinet in 3 counties, it was such a loooooooong time ago, wondering if I'd ever really be able to learn any instrument again!?!?!?
cannot ignore my calling anymore just to "play" [something!!]
