Re: SELF-RELIANCE GARDENING I'm just afraid gardening takes talent, which I know I don't have.

Re: SELF-RELIANCE GARDENING It does not take talent.
It takes experience learned from a series of small successes. A single cherry tomato plant near where you sit outside. Look at it often, watch it's phases of growth, flowering, and fruiting. Notice that it takes a few weeks of root growth before it takes off. If it looks a little wilted stick your finger in the soil and feel for warmth, moisture. Watch the little flower buds open, dry out, fall and that tiny green gem turn into a baby tomato and grow, turning from green to a tinge of pink on the sunny side to orange to red. Study it. Start small but start now. Putting your hands in the dirt is good for your soul. |

Re: SELF-RELIANCE GARDENING Thanks!
Everything I've tried to grow I've killed, but I think it's because I'd get distracted and I'd end up neglecting it. That's a good idea to try with just one plant. I'll do that. I tried to store enough food to cover the learning curve for gardening, but I do need to start now. _________________ "Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall, he will end by destroying the world."
