Re:
hi adnohr, well i had good luck with landscape plants, but not much you can do to hurt them. Chop them down to the ground and they just grow right back up. But with vegetables you have to feed and then protect them from bugs. When i told my son i was going to plant a garden this year, he said " well you better hurry, we already have ours in."

Re:
we have not had any cold weather. Just one good frost would be nice, but we cant even get that. I think things grow better if you have cold weather for at least 2 weeks.

Re:
well lustor my having a vegetable garden might turn into folly, since i have never been able to keep house plants alive, i forget to give them water, and if i water them, then i forget to feed them. artificial are great looking!!!!!

Re: jeansaw
haha bill, i love it we grow from seed and turn to compost! will use that one. i tried to sell my earthworms when i had rabbits, and i got special containers with holes in the lid and delivered to gas stations where fishermen, i was hoping, would buy them. But if they did not sell immediately like in a day or two, they would dry out, that is the worms and compost they were in, and they would call me up and say my worms died please come and replace them. Yeah!!!!

your projects you best invest in a big freezer to snap freeze your veggies and keep yourself all year is fresh produce.

Hmm - not much of a gardener here. Was planning to try it last year, but that didn't work out. Maybe this year. Good luck with yours.

That's true. My wife has a nice little garden in our backyard, where we raise tomatoes, peppers, string beans and eggplant! Nothing better than freshly-grown vegetables! Good luck!

I enjoyed reading about your gardening efforts...We in Maryland have not had much of a winter snow-wise the last two years.

PI grew from seed and made compost. I know the value of earthworms and the nursery. Good luck love. BC-A, Bill’s R®st
