It took so long for the seeds to sprout though, so I would recommend buying some plants, such as tomatoes, already grown. I also agree that you should ask at your local nursery which types of fruits & veggies will grow best for your area. Some flowers also help with certain veggies as well, so ask about that. My husband just built the raised planter bed this week, which I plan on posting soon...very easy and cheap to make out of Red Wood. I must say it's been a lot of fun watching the seeds grow into plants and we can't wait to see the fruits of our labor! Best of luck and have fun!Melyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882028046404819588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806043594779848004.post-72157170888289371552010-03-02T10:02:33.044-07:002010-03-02T10:02:33.044-07:00A good way to start (although you already have) is...A good way to start (although you already have) is to go to a good, locally-owned nursery (not huge lumber store). They'll know what works well where you live, and WHEN to plant what. This will help tons.<br /><br />And think about what you eat a lot.<br /><br />Whatever you like to eat and grows well where you are, plant that. =)<br /><br />And don't plant too much. Don't wanna get overwhelmed.<br /><br />The first year I lived here (Sierra foothills) I planted three 6-packs of tomatoes in March (it was very warm), told co-workers and they laughed out loud. Sure enough, all but 3 were frost killed. Now I don't plant toms till mid-May. =)<br /><br />Have fun and best of luck. =)biobabblerhttp://biobabbler.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806043594779848004.post-81476453453054464802010-03-01T19:29:20.745-07:002010-03-01T19:29:20.745-07:00I wish I was a green thumb.

I have good intentions though and I love it.Jessica @ Lavender and Lilieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955472530244699295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806043594779848004.post-63304245910960627952010-03-01T09:25:36.558-07:002010-03-01T09:25:36.558-07:00this is where i'm at. want to garden but am to...this is where i'm at. want to garden but am totally clueless where to start. i'll let you be my guide! and i love the idea of leasing a row at agritopia. what a cool concept... joe is a genius!!marni zarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776618436307405023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806043594779848004.post-32119270536518768022010-03-01T08:49:38.180-07:002010-03-01T08:49:38.180-07:00Mean and Chris have been wanting to do that for wh...Mean and Chris have been wanting to do that for while.
