Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Peace be with you, I think you will find the books 'Great Garden Companions' by Sally Jean Cunningham and " Square Foot Gardening' by Mel Bartholomew very interesting and helpful reading. I wish you the very best of success. rainbow ===== " A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one. The grandson asked him, Which wolf will win the fight in your heart? The grandfather answered, The one I feed. " _______________________________ Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I'm in the same boat: my husband and I have just bought some land and I want to learn how to garden. I'm from NYC and my only growing experience is with houseplants so I know how you feel. Here's what I'm doing: I bought " The Idiot's Guide to Edible Gardening " and that gave me a basic overview of what I'm getting into. It said to contact local gardening clubs and coop extensions for hands-on type classes. I did that and have located several gardening classes in my area that seem pretty reasonable pricewise. I found some of these at gardenweb.com, which has a searchable database of garden clubs. Do a google search for a " coop extension " in your area. Their classes are usually pretty inexpensive. Also, I joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm. These are basically food cooperatives formed to support local, (and usually) organic food. You pay a nominal fee to become a member, as well as volunteer a few hours, and in exchange you get a weekly allotment of fresh produce. You can check out the one I belong to: www.farmproject.org and that will give you an idea of what the whole CSA " movement " is about. The good thing is CSAs usually need for members to help out in the field so you can get experience that way. Finally, you could call garden supply stores and local public gardens in your area and just chat people up to get information about how you can learn. Someone you talk to may know someone who's willing to take on free help, or of someone who offers classes. Heck, you could even call a professional gardener and have them come to your yard and help walk you thru the process -- for a fee of course. hope this helps, swing _______________________________ Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.
