The kit came with really vague instructions. I put about 10-15 seeds in each 4 inch pot. Now that the plants have sprouted, they look puny. Wil they fill the pot as they grow? Should I have put more in? If so, can I push some seeds in between the sprouts?

My boyfriend has a rather large roofdeck, over 2,000sqft. However, the ladies who used to live there had two dogs and they built a "sandbox" type of thing for their pets to relieve themselves in. They haven’t lived there for almost a year now, so I am guessing most of the fecal matter is dried up by now. But I could easily shovel the fecal matter OUT of the "box" (it’s actually circular) along with a lot of the sand/old soil and go buy potting soil at Lowes’ or Home Depot or a nursery and fill it up with fresh soil, and compost.

Speaking of which what is better–compost or fertilizer?

Anyway! Any tips for creating a garden that can thrive in the city on a roof? I would love to plant veggies, flowers, herbs, and maybe even fruit! I have heard herbs and some veggies are pretty easy to plant. My mum and I usually just buy pregrown flower beds at Lowes or H.D. and plant those in our front yard back in pittsburgh in the spring time…. but I have never grown flowers using seeds before! I assume it’s fairly straightforward though.

I plan to begin growing things indoors in various pots before planting them outside. I want to wait until the last frost so that nothing I plant outside goes belly up! LOL!

I am 27 yr old male and have high blood pressure and have been over weight my whole life. I am going on a diet because my family has a history of heart disease and I dont want to live like a fool anymore. I talked to a friend and he mentioned I should try taking hemp seed. I looked it up and it seems legit, but I am wondering is there any other supplements or herbs or seeds I could take to better my heart and circulatory system (and the blood pressure thing)???

I am interested in pursuing a spiritual path through the use of natural herbs and plants and I was wondering if anyone knew of any legal, natural entheogenic plants, herbs, seeds, etc … that could assist me on this journey.

I want to make a potted herb garden for a Christmas gift for my dad. He loves cooking and all, and I’d like to make it with the following herbs
-Cilantro
-Basil
-Rosemary
-Oregano
-Parsley
-Tarragon or thyme

Can these herbs be store bought as clippings and planted directly in soil? I’ve heard of just using a clipping of a mature plant and letting it grow in the soil. Is it possible for these herbs? Do I have to get seeds or buy plants?

"The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree," (Matthew 13:31-32)

Jesus shows his poor knowledge of science: the mustard seed is not smaller, not larger vegetable garden, and does not become a tree.

some epiphytic orchids in the Amazon forest produce the world’s smallest seeds, up to 35 million seeds per ounce. One seed weighs about 35 millionths of a gram.
