As you can see we have a pretty aggressive list of vegetables this year! We still are still in the beginner's level of gardening but growing in our knowledge quickly.

One of my new favorite booklets are the "Storey County Wisdom Bulletins." So far we have "Starting Seeds Indoors," "Easy Composters You Can Build," "Grow the Best Blueberries," "Grow the Best Tomatos," " Build your own Underground Root Cellar" and then in the mail on their way to us we have "Wide Row Planting," "Grow the Best Corn," "Controlling Garden Weeds" and "Gardening Answers." They are each about 30 pages and cost less than $5.00 each and are chalk full of super down to earth practical advice.

In the next week or two I'll be starting my tomatoes and peppers in the basement. Today we were at Home Depot and got a shop florescent light so they can have light. I need to ready my Starting Seeds Indoors and Grow the Best Tomatos booklets a few more times!
