You might have never had any experience on home gardening but you have decided to take it up now. You have seen the hypnotizing gardens of your neighbours and you feel envious , you too want to have a beautiful garden , and yes you can have one exactly like that but even more beautiful. It isn’t magic that takes place in your neighbour’s house which makes a person a great gardener. Here is a great gardening tip for you: speak to those neighbour’s who have great gardens. They didn’t happen accidentally or by magic either. They made it happen; they will certainly give u some great gardening tips to work on.
Successful gardening depends upon the amount of knowledge and imagination you have. You can’t expect a plant to grow and develop well just like that.
You must know the type of climate and soil the plant requires. If u have just begun gardening you must know which plants are easy to grow? Once you have some knowledge you may try for tougher species. It is always a good idea to start off with some easier plants and then once you start getting some expertise in the field you move on to more plants which have special requirements. The dahlias we envy in our neighbour’s garden did not grow overnight! Now a days with so many literature around it has become quite simple to read up on individual plants and their requirements
Gardening books are a great help if you are a beginner. You need not spend money on books. Your local library will be a great help now, they must be having a good selection of gardening books. The books provide us with all the things we want to know. Does u want birds and butterflies hovering around in your garden? Do you want to keep it away from pests and insects? You can find the answers to these questions in the gardening books. You can also get these books by subscribing in the internet.
The next place which can help you is your local nursery. The people in charge of the nursery know their job well. They are just the right people to guide you. They can guide you on every single feature of gardening. The nurseries also provide with the extra stuff that make’s your garden more beautiful. And you can always ask them for a gardening tip or two, they are a great help if you are a beginner and you shouldn’t hesitate from asking if you so desire.
I find that if I must buy fertilise the organic granular ones are easier to use and last longer with good results. More importantly, start a compost bin and compost your weeds, lawn mowings, old newspaper and computer paper, kitchen trimmings, egg shells, tissues etc.. Turn it every 2-3 weeks and you will soon have a good supply of nourishing compost for free
Lettuces and spinach take little space and are easy to grow during the spring and fall.
Carrots and radishes can be planted pretty densely and radishes only take a month from seed to harvest so several crops can be planted in a season. I would often eat them right out the garden.
A couple of tomatoes are a must. They are more vertical space. At least a cherry (for eating in the garden) and a beefsteak for slicing. Buy or make big sturdy cages
Sugar snap peas are a favorite. Build a trellis for them to climb and they take little space.
Same goes for vine cucumbers.
Peppers and eggplants are pretty compact but I gave up on them after the flea beetles arrived.
Zucchini and yellow squash are big plants but you can get a big yield from one mound of plants.
Hope that helps.

in michigan in some places you can still buy cherry bombs and stuff… the strongest you can legaly buy is like a quarter stick of dynamite

In general, here in Oklahoma, a garden home is one floor with small yards that are cared for by the association that governs the homes in that grouping. This means for gardeners– very limited access for your own wants i.e. you want to grow tomatoes but the association forbids tomatoes.
If you are looking at this type home, please do read the association rules, regulations and costs very carefully.
good luck
Depends on the weather. If its hot water twice a day. If you have small cukes on the vine, and want to keep them small, let them all stay, if you want bigger ones, pick off all but one on each vine.
If you dont want to water twice a day, water every other or third day by trickle watering for an hour or so. That way the plant develops deep roots and doesnt need watering as often. It helps to water the hole when you plant for that reason.
I use a combination of vertical gardening and organic gardening to grow my own vegetables. Lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, peas, onions and beet — I've grown them all at home.
I've been into vertical gardening for the past 8 years and teamed up with my husband who's been an organic farmer for 21 years.
Our methods work in tandem: A vertical garden helps you grow vegetables in a limited space (using window sill tubs or wooden towers) while organic gardening saves you the cost of pesticides.
Catnip(cat mint) will make them go crazy, it is very safe and hilarious to watch! It's not like a drug for them, it's perfectly safe.
Some others that cats like and are safe:
Creeping Rosemary
Alyssium
Heather
These are only from personal experience, from observing my cats rolling around like fools in these plants.
Any price comparison website would do. They let you view a product on several different sites so you can get the cheapest value. I used to use ciao, but found the site hard to navigate, now I use twenga.
