There are many sources to good gardening, including the
information from Advocate newspaper, many books, the internet
and local nurseries. You may use any information contained
herein with a grain of salt. If it makes sense try it or not.
So far I have been very lucky in producing a very large
harvest of most things that I plant. I haven't had that much
success or experience with planting seeds as starter plants as
yet but I'm working on the seed issue. I have a small
greenhouse and working on a much larger one for my winter
garden. I'm really tired of loosing my plants to freezing
weather, and not much help from the weather guessers. My
procedure for doing most anything is thinking about what I'm
starting to do. After much thought or procrastination, I
usually lay out the garden with my computer using a spread
sheet and some type of drawing program. This way usually keeps
me on track of what I'm trying to do. (I'm very busy with
trying to make a living) So without a structured plan, I would
be in trouble before starting.
This Spring MY plan is: (Follow at your own risk!)
weather depending. As the saying goes to wet to plow!
