    Tip: we are trying to garden “organic” this year and after watering our green been plants, we sprinkled the leaves (while still wet) with garlic powder. So far, the leaves are beautiful and no bugs have wanted to eat garlic…

    I lived in the Lynchburg, VA area for several years and got a lot of pleasure out of naturalistic plantings at the edge of a small wooded area (like lady slippers, trilliums…). I also picked lots of blackberries in season for lots of almost free desserts.

    I do a lot of vegetable gardening….
    my tip would be that take the time putting seeds like radish, lettuce, carrot in where they have enough space. Even though that takes a lot of time initially, it will make up for it when you no longer have to thin.

    My only tip is for the frugal minded. Don’t buy perennial plants… grow them from seed instead. You’ll have a much wider selection to choose from and it will much cheaper than buying them. Grown from seed most don’t flower for the first year or two, so if you want immediate colour either buy annuals or grow those from seed too. In the end you will save quite a bit and growing from seed is much easier than a lot of people think. Books, or an experienced gardner, can tell you the easiest seeds to grow in your area.

    I compost and it’s not hard, time consuming or gross; so consider that. That stuff is gold.

    Long ago someone taught me that there were three things that can go straight in the ground (scratched into the topsoil) without composting.

    The first two are often compost pile ingredients: coffee grounds and diced banana peels (I do mean diced, small). There is so much coffee consumed around here and so many bananas that I have a steady supply; if not Starbucks locations often have programs where they will give you grounds for your garden, The banana peels are practically pure potassium, roses particularly go nuts for this.

    The last ingredient doesn’t belong on the compost pile in the first place and does take a little effort. Ground egg shells; sounds easy, but I have found that I have to remove the membrane inside the shell (peel it out, some kids love doing this), then dry the shells, then crush them to about the consistency of cat litter. We tend to have the shells in little bowls drying out on the sill all of the time. This crushed matter you just scatter around the bases of the plants (vegetable plants love this, roes gain too).

    One last thing, Epsom Salts! Just dilute it and pour: http://www.saltworks.us/gardening-with-epsom-salt.asp

    When you plant your seeds instead of just using water get a cheap can of beer mix with 1 cup sugar in 3-5 gallons of water. The Beer introduces yeast to your soil and this helps improved nutrience to your new seedlings. The sugar will just help them grow faster during that seedling phase. PBS has so great shows on frugal and practical gardening tips.
