Is it too late to plant my garden?
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?

I am interested in having a container garden on my apartment’s small porch this summer. It would be great to grow both vegetables and flowers here,( I live in Kansas, where summers are very hot and windy). What kinds of veggies would do well in pots, and what suggestions do you have for setting it up and maintaining it? I’m new to this, and have to do it on a shoestring! Thanks in advance!

I was thinking about starting an outdoor organic garden in the spring and I was wondering what I should do to start it…I’m thinking about growing veggies like tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, zuchtinnis, and pumpkins. Can you give me tips on growing each veggie? How much water do they need? Direct or indirect sunlight? Anything else?
more details please…i don’t want to go to another site…just sum it up in your answer please, or give me helpful resources…do i just do it in the ground or in a box?

Jen G asked:


I want to put a flower garden in the yard in front of my house, but I’m not sure what I would be able to use. Since that side of the house faces the west, it doesn’t get sunlight until the afternoon. I’ve looked around at a few different green houses to get some ideas, but all I find is plants that require full sun. I would like to get flowers or small shrubs or maybe even some climbing flowers. Any suggestions??? Thanks!

How might you use that as a lesson to your students?

Lets say You are an elementary school teacher. You are trying to teach your class responsibility and an appreciation for the Earth by teaching them to garden.
