Looking for more community? Me to… So I created an account on a platform called Patreon which allows my followers from social media to join me some place more meaningful. In Toni’s Secret Garden, you get to decide what we talk about. I hold weekly livestreams where I can get to know names and answer immediate questions, plus a chat feature and direct messaging so you feel less alone on your garden journey. It’s $9 per month with no obligation if it’s not for you, but I hope you enjoy it!
Don’t attempt to dig up soil from your back yard. Don’t buy topsoil. Don’t use compost or whatever you found in an old pot in the garage. Potting soil is for pots. And it is important that you use it to give your seeds the best chance to turn into thriving, healthy seedlings.
So you want to start your garden from seed this year and you don’t know what seeds to select? Let’s answer your questions: who are the best suppliers? heirlooms or hybrids? organic or conventional? and how much you should buy?
Gifts for your favorite gardener – or if YOU are the gardener, send this list to those who love you and are asking, “What can I get you?” Every year during the holiday, I struggle to think of gifts I might need in general, and then in the spring I think – shoot! I should have asked for garden stuff! Garden gifts may have to sit around for a few months until it’s time to use them, but once you need them, you’ll be so glad you don’t have to run out and buy them.
Green beans are so easy to grow – why isn’t everyone doing it? With very little effort, you’ll have green beans from June to October. Let’s get started!
Once you have decided to take the plunge and start your vegetables from seed, you’ll need a few materials. Choose the right containers that are best for YOU – your space, your available sunlight, and the kind of vegetables you want to grow.
