- I am going to start my FIRST garden this summer. Santa was good and brought me
- the book entitled "Square Foot Gardening" I am planning to try the same concepts
- but in big pots or wooden boxes. I live in an apartment in New Orleans... long hot
- summers
-
-
- The vegetables I am planning to grow are:
-
- Any recommendations on what kind to buy and where to get them would be greatly
- appreciated.
-
- a. tomatoes ... just enough for me and my husband... I am thinking 1 plant with
- three plantings
-
- b. Lettuce.. I was thinking Boston lettuce... but I would like to try others...
- store bought lettuce is expensive and you end up throwing most of it away.
-
- c. Yellow, Red and Green Bell Peppers --- I am hoping they will be easy to grow.
-
- d. Something else ... kind of exotic... but I haven't figured out what.
