I want green peppers, tomatoes..at this point I get lost. It does get full sun. I might also get a 2nd plot.
Are there vegetables that grow better together, and some that cannot be grown with others? Just help with planning a basic garden…no herbs, don’t have the experience. Help?
Can I also plant flowers? I know some are edible, which ones?
Thank you so much..I am quite excited about this.
Oh…this area got hit by tomato blight last year. So far the year has been unnaturally damp. Should I forgo tomatoes altogether?
My dad put pest moss and manure in his garden. Should I? I don’t know the PH, its in a lot where a building was tore down; lots of bits of crumbled brick, etc, in the soil.
Thanks for all the help!

I’m starting a small garden on my patio–the light is just OK, as there is an awning above, but I am optimistic. I was thinking tomatoes and maybe some herbs. Any suggestions?

We’re growing dill, parsley, chives and basil. Or might it be bad once we consume them? We didn’t read the instructions properly so we’ve been giving it everyday instead of once a week but they are growing anyway, will just do it once a week now though. The stuff we’re usiing is called "Feed Me" (a small yellow bottle of concentrate that makes 80 litres supposedly) Also trying to grow tomatoes and wild strawberries. All in pots on our kitchen windowsill, lol. But we also put them outside on a table in the back garden during the day. Never tried to grow anything before so all very new to us. Thanks.
Manure tea, I’m empty reaching here…..ahhh,ahhhh….lol Kitchen would smell like a toilet me thinks…..In the pots we just have regular earth mixed with something called "coco peat" that we bought.
Thanks but it’s not called Orchid fertiliser, it’s simply called "Feed Me", made by some company called "151" http://www.151.co.uk/index.html I can’t see the fertaliser at their site, maybe they no longer make it, it was only about €2/ anyway.

Like tomatoes are good for the skin or how you can make smoke bombs or herbs that are good for a good nights sleep ….. And what does Belladonna actually do; in the movie Practical Magic they said it could calm your nerves, how?

I’m a bit suspicious as it has Parmesan.

I plan on clearing out much of my backyard and redoing it. I had planned on raising chickens however decided on ducks. Next to the duck’s house will be a pond full of plants for them to eat. However, the pond will be big enough that we will harvest Tilapia in it. We will be planting duckweed which both ducks and tilapia eat inside the pond. We will be knocking out our old playhouse in the backyard, and planting three honey-crisp apple trees. We will be also planting a peach tree and a cherry tree where out other two trees died. Inside, we are planning on bringing a Meyer’s lemon tree which only grows to be a few feet. Also, around the bamboo we plan on planting some bamboo which we will be able to eat. We added a compost to help make our soil much more fertile. We will also be expanding our vegetable garden. We so far have started our seedlings of: onions, leeks, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and a few others. We also have planted Cilantro, Basil, Rosemary, and one other herb I cannot remember. Anyway, I just wanted to know everyones thoughts on the whole plan. If anybody has suggestions on how to improve it or even anything to add I would be thrilled. Thanks again!
