Hey, one thing I believe you might enjoy--starting your own plants from seeds. I do this every year in my basement starting around mid February. All you need are some fluorescent shop lights, some plastic trays and cells, some seed-starting medium, and off you go. You grow the babies until it's warm enough to plant them outside, "harden them off" for a few days, and put 'em in the ground. I grow vegetables like tomatoes and peppers, herbs like basil and parsely, as well as annual and perennial flowers. You can do this on the cheap, and you have so much more lattitude as far as what varieties you grow.President Camacho wrote: Any tips for the beginner?
