Also try spring onions instead of bulb onions this year, as spring onions in my area are pretty expensive to buy, but very easy to grow, and can produce a cut-and-come again crop if you get the bunching kind. And get some herb seeds planted- herbs such as chives, parsley, basil, dill, and oregano are easy-peasy and great for small spaces.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589461088079201199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262947833191723741.post-6477848976397275822010-03-16T20:23:21.519-04:002010-03-16T20:23:21.519-04:00Thanks.

We ...Thanks. I'm off to look for this book. <br /><br />We want to at minimum grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and a few fun things like that. Those items you can eat all summer long and never tire of. <br /><br />I can buy local string (green) beans far cheaper than I can grow them and onions, too. I'm not sure about any other veggies though.The Walmart Veganhttp://www.thewalmartvegan.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262947833191723741.post-85372482432787287242010-03-15T22:49:07.077-04:002010-03-15T22:49:07.077-04:00Funny you should ask, as raised bed was the way I ...Funny you should ask, as raised bed was the way I began gardening. Check out Mel Bartholomew's book "Square Foot Gardening", and go to his website "http://www.squarefootgardening.com/". It is all covered there! <br /><br />You don't necessarily have to spend a lot to build a raised bed, and you can start out with just a small one; there are several ways to do it, so start with Mel's suggestions. <br /><br />Also take a look at http://www.vegetablegardener.com/, because they have a wealth of ideas, and Mel does a feature from time to time with Patty Moreno, The Garden Girl, who has a website at http://www.gardengirltv.com/.<br /><br />The fun has just begun!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589461088079201199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262947833191723741.post-23779343377270503612010-03-15T12:36:45.045-04:002010-03-15T12:36:45.045-04:00I really enjoy all your posts about gardening.

We always have to plant a little late because of work. (After April 15th)<br /><br />Do you know much about raised bed gardening?<br />Any suggestions on where to look?The Walmart Veganhttp://www.thewalmartvegan.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
