My kids want to have a small garden this year. Partial food and partial plants. They want pumpkins, corn, carrots and sunflowers. When is a good time to start planting that garden? I was thinking of planting the seeds in cups inside earlier on and then transplanting them outside when the weather gets better. When should I start planting in cups inside? Thanks!

I have a small garden this year and planted pole beans, peppers,cucumbers,roma tomatoes, pumpkin and egg plant.

The cucumbers, tomatoes pole beans are growing, the pumpkins are in bloom too, but the two eggplants (bought already grown from Lowes) didn’t make it. The peppers, that were sprouts when I planted them, didn’t make it either.

Any idea what will grow best in South West Virginia?

I was wondering what I might have done wrong with my eggplants.

Also, does anyone know if watermelon will grow well here.

I have a strip of garden in my yard running the length of my fence. I’d like to install a small pond, with fountain, there. Unfortunately it’s divided from the main span of yard, including the deck where the electrical outlet is, by a sidewalk. Is there any easy and safe way for a do-it-yourselfer to get the electrical cord over to that section of the yard, past the sidewalk? Keeping in mind I want to use the plug-in source of power, and not dig, bury, hardwire, etc. Easy, but safe, is the goal!

I have a garden with assorted plants, like flowers and herbs and veggies. The problem is that I am also planting strawberries, but ants or some kind of bug can bite parts of it. Are there any ways in which I can prevent this?

Is there an online picture gallery of weeds so that I can look at the plant in my garden and compare it with the pictures? I think I know what some weeds look like, but I don’t want to pull a good plant accidentally. Yes, I forgot what I planted in my garden.

I just need to know in general how much in labor the installation would cost to switch a garden tub to a jacuzzi tub. I want the jets. I realize this depends on where I live too. I live in Delaware.
I don’t think I’d have to reinforce the floors, because there is already a soaking tub there. This would be the same type of tub I’d get, just one with jets.

Hello
I live In the Bay Area, California. We get plenty of sun now. I would like to grow some tomatoes and other vestables such as peppers and cucumbers and so on.
How do i get started? I have picked a spot for the garden with the most sun, however, the dirt is not very good there, it’s very dry. How much compost should i mix in and is it too late for me to grow a vestable garden??
