I’m just starting out in the gardening world. I’ve managed to grow herbs last year without completely killing them, and the Hydrangeas I planted in my previous front yard are doing great. This past year, I was fairly successful in growing vegetables in containers. I was never able to learn much about gardening growing up, since I grew up in South Texas where the growing season is in the winter, and even then, it’s still too hot for the things I’d like to eat.

I now have a new house, with plenty of land for growing things, and I’m going to be growing vegetables and herbs and flowers in multiple gardens.
