This is what I know, all plants need soil, water and sun. Uh, that's about it! Last summer I jumped right in, wasted so much money and everything died! My old man says, "Welcome to the plant morgue!" I tried it all...plants, tomatoes, herbs and pond plants. Yes, I know I tried too much at once, but I'm excited about it. My son just went to college this fall and I'm dealing with that empty nest thing, so I thought, "Hey, I'll become a gardener!" Ah, the depression ran even deeper. I killed plants and 12 fish. I thought, okay, new year, this time I'm starting early. I have a bunch of seeds in my fridge and some on order. I have 3 big babies (dogs), so I need plants that won't hurt them. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I can't sit at the computer for a long period of time, but I'll check everyday. Thank you all! I accidentally put up the wrong picture...can't get it off or changed, sorry!
