I’m an urbanite these days, so it was container-gardening for me for many years. I’m now signed up and using a plot in my local community garden – and very pleased with it. I bought and tried out very many seeds last year…my hardiness zone is a myth though: I’m in an area that is on the border between 6a and 6b, but really, we’re in a strange, meadow cold-sink, so we have aspects of zone 5! If you figure that out, let me know, okay?
Returning to the garden plot this year with other experiments to try out. Wait & see…
