If this is a persistent problem, I'd be for marking where the punctures
are. If they're coming up in the same place over and over, there's a
thorn, glass sliver, or some such thing in the tire. Or are the holes on
the inside of the tube? If so you could have a protruding spoke or
something else in your rim. Do you have rim strips? You should.
I second the suggestion that you cultivate a relationship with a local
bike shop. And/or see if there's a local club or organization that you
could take a basic riding and maintenance class from. At a bare minimum
see if there's a basic bicycling book at the library.
Keep at it. Cycling has its hassles, but its rewards outweigh them.
