Thinking of planting a garden

But, do I have to wait until the spring, or is there anything that I can plant in the fall/winter that will thrive?

I can not really think of anything that will grow during the winter. I think it does depend on your climate also.

You could get one of those indoor herb garden kits to get yourself started. If you live down south or in a warmer coastal area, you might be able to grow some veggies outside in the winter. If you’re in the U.S., you could contact your local county extension agent and ask him or her for ideas. A reputable garden store can also be a good source of information.

Thanks Stepper, I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe that is what I will do. I live in the U.S, Virginia to be exact.

If it doesn`t freeze where you live, you can grow all kinds of letuce and chard. These like colder weather. Also , carrots and turnips love the colder weather.

I live in the northeast and because of the winter and snow I just plant my garden in the spring. I never really thought about an inside garden? I would think that might work on getting an early start on certain things that you might transplant come spring?

You can start planning your garden now. After all, in many regions, you can start your seedlings (inside) around February.

I plant tomatoes in February. I also love to start all my geraniumns and asters inside too. If you start them now tulips and lillies will bloom for the new year.

How hard is it to transplant the vegetables that I start inside to an outside garden?

I think I may give this a try. There’s nothing like fresh garden tomatoes in the summer and I think it would be great giving them an early start like this.
Anything special I should know about starting them inside?

I want to try this year too. But I have this one patch of ground that continues to get mushrooms during really rainy periods. I’m worried that it could poison my food or it’s just not a good patch to grow stuff on.

Ideas or suggestions?

I just bought some organic tomatoes and am planning to dry up the seeds and grow them inside…have started preparing the soil…using some natural waste like vegetable peels for the manure….

I want to do this, too… I assume that it will soon be time to start indoor
seeds in the wintry northeast US? This is new to me, so I want to be sure to do it all right with the timing.

I personally have never started my plants inside but I do know people that have. Maybe I wil have to try this sometime.
