Hello from Kentucky!

[Jess172]

I'm going to plant my first "big" garden this year. I've grown tomatoes for several years and always had good luck so I'm going to try a little bit of everything this year and see what grows best. Me and my husband are going to try to make a small green house soon out of cattle panels. Also planning on doing composting, learning to can, planting lots of fruit trees, along with getting chickens, ducks, and guineas. I'd also like to eventually get into seed saving.

from Oklahoma and
Gardening is a continuing experiment always trying something new, even when you've been at it for decades. Have fun.

Welcome!

Do these look like excited insects, because That isn't right to welcome someone to a garden forum with ecstatic aphids.


oh I do not know, these look like happy plant lice too.

umm....
Yeah, that does it.

Howdy over there to Kentucky from California.

There are folks here doing just the things you're getting ready to do so you're at the right place.

Hang on to your login stuff and don't lose it, come in often.

Oh, and seed saving for starters begins as simple as sticking a couple handfuls of ripe and dry beans in a sock with a note on a piece of scratch paper stuck in it, and tucked into the back of your sock drawer.

Dry up some cleaned off squash seeds on a paper plate and do the same, easy things like that,

then comes cleaning up Lettuce seeds, picking which plants to save from...things like that, it all comes together.
