Hi I’m new to gardening and would love to start but not sure where. My goal is to harvest herbs and vegetables that I use every in the kitchen. Can anyone share tips? I have pots but scared to plant seeds because I’m unsure how to keep it going.

Here is a walk through of a simple Trellis that I have been using for years. This is perfect for the Yard Long Beans that I grow and provides a micro-climate that extends the harvest of my cool weather crops.

Very disappointed in my first garden in Florida. I lived in Indiana in my youth and could grow anything I put in the ground. This year in put in raised beds and planted four different tomatoes, two kinds of potatoes and sweet potatoes, zucchini, lettuce, bush beans and purple hull beans don't forget the collards I amended the soil, put up shade cloth over my tomatoes and kept the bugs off. I just failed at something but I'm not sure what. So discourage. Maybe I'll try flowers.

I am new to this group am 70 years old and learning how to grow vegetables and herbs and trying to eat more plant based because I am overweight and a diabetic. This is my first year growing my Garden in containers. It Didn’t do so well because I had them up next to my House and they were not Getting enough sun plus I wasn’t Fertilizing enough and didn’t realize the watering was washing the Nutrients out. I have corrected that and am getting fall produce now. I live in WA 8b or 9a zone. I am planting garlic by End of Oct and especially like growing more out of scrape of veggies. I am doubling the size Of my Garden next year because I bought everything When it was on sale In late Sept. i have been researching how to grow each veggie and got a soil test kit Then since I use a wheelchair I put my pots and grow bags up on pallets and my son will put in watering system in spring.

I started indoor gardening when I was 18. I grew four pothos plants up to six feet long and hung them over my dorm window as curtains. Fifty years later, I now have over a 100 houseplants and two outdoor gardens. Few people relate to my love of outdoor container gardening and houseplants. With this group, I know I have found my tribe.
