I am new here to this forum and to gardening. As a kid my dad always had a wonderful country garden in our backyard. everything from flowers to veges to sunflowers. Now that I have my own place I would love to have a garden of my own for my kids to enjoy. I love the outdoors and nature so I think this would be a great hobby for me to try out. Thanx for reading this. Bye. |

My parents were big gardeners too, this year will be my second year of making gardening my hobby. It is so peaceful when work or life gets stressful I just go out to my garden and all the negativity goes away. Good luck gardening. |

Hi, I am new also. I also grew up with a garden. My dad has grown everything from asaragus to popcorn and everything in between. My husband and I are starting our "raised bed garden" this week end. I am excited. We have no children at home but have grandchildren and I have lots of time. We have chosen raised bed gardening because we have a small yard and would like to keep our garden in certain areas. I am looking for tips on companion planting and natural pesticdes. I guess you could say I want to grow things a little more organic then my dad did.
