I am so happy that spring is right around the corner! I don't know about you, but I'm tired of this cold winter and ready to spend some quality time outdoors! I wanted to start a discussion to share gardening tips, advice, and knowledge.
Some of My Favorite Place to Buy Supplies
For cheap accent lighting and other garden decor, I love to go to Target or Walmart. I've even bought seeds from Target before and they turned out great.
For plants, I like to go to Lowe's or Alsip Nursery. Also, a place that my Mom introduced me to, Sunrise Greenhouse in Grant Park, IL (http://www.woldhuisfarms.com/index.html). Although it's quite a haul from Lockport, this place is like a "Sam's Club" for flowers! I normally get the majority of my garden goodies at Sunrise!
Some of My Favorite Things to Grow
I absolutely love to grow all things edible! My must-haves include grape tomatoes and green onions. Last summer, I grew candy onions (sweeter than Vidalia!), strawberries, cilantro, basil, and three breeds of lettuce, in addition. I also love my Lavendar plant that keeps my patio smelling nice! This year, I want to grow some green beans since I love eating them and some kind of roses. Any pointers?
Now It's Your Turn to Share
Now I invite you to share some of your insight and knowledge about gardening for other fellow gardeners to comment on and learn from!
