Mike asked:


I live in southern Maine and I want to make a little bit of extra money. And I was planning of putting a small garden in my back yard. To grow Carrots, Tomatoes, Green Red Peppers, Onions, and Bell Peppers. Is it too late to plant the garden if I do it next weekend? (June 19thish) I know how to garden and all that stuff. But is it too late?

My son and I made our first veggie garden this year. I used old pavers to raise the bed about a foot high. In the raised bed, we have corn, tomatoes, sweet peas, pumpkin and carrots.

I know there are mice and rabbits nearby, and it’s only a matter of time before they find our garden. Any suggestions on how to protect the raised garden bed? Thanks!

My dogs are undergoing deworming now but I am concerned that the eggs can last for years in the garden–and thus they will be reinfected. Is there any way to kill the eggs in the garden? Many thanks for your thoughts here!

I have a nice boxed off area that used to have a hot tub from a previous house owner. I would love to plant a garden, but after tilling the soil I noticed that it is kind of sandy. I live in Ohio. I plan on growing (hopefully) Tomatoes, Japs, Cucumber, Romaine, Bell Pepper, Okra, Squash, Strawberries, Watermelon, Onions, Carrots and Green Beans. Will these plants grow in sandy soil?
