Garden Prep Work
By the time you read this it will be the middle of winter?. If you have not already done so, NOW is the perfect time to plan your garden!! A major discount store had seeds out in January. The seed catalogs were arriving then as well & it is not too late to order some now. Thumb through the catalogs or peruse the seed section of the local stores. Write down the type of plants you want to eat.
Once that is done it is time to locate where you will plant it. Generally full sun is best [this does depend upon what you plan to grow]. As a general rule plant the tallest varieties to the north end of the planting areas so that they do not shade the other plants.
How much room do you ?really' need to grow some pretty impressive crops. In an area as small as 100 square feet will be large enough to grow all the salad fix'ns that a family of 4 will need for the summer, with perhaps some extra to be used in cooking & putting up for the winter.

Flower Bulbs: Nature?s Greatest Gift
Flowers are one of nature's greatest gifts. Their scent, their colors, their shapes? everything about flowers is beautiful. A colorful, cheerful flower can brighten even the darkest day. Even more enjoyable than looking at flowers, though, is growing them. Flowers can be bought from pots and replanted.
They can also be grown from clippings. However, one of the most popular ways of growing flowers is from bulbs and seeds.
