Green Tips & Advice - Plant, Eat, Repeat
Do yourself, your land, and the planet a favor and plant an edible garden. Even a few pots will make a difference and help to to reconnect you with nature, provide fresh, healthy food and attract beneficial insects.
To get started, first consider a one-to-one substitution. For instance, plant a fruit tree instead of a shade tree, a veggie-bearing plant for an ornamental one, and berry plants for geraniums.
Or just keep it really simple by growing your own tomatoes and herbs in pots on your patio. During the act of choosing what to plant, remember many fruit and vegetable plantings do best where they receive at least six hours of full sunlight a day. If you want to install a full garden, think organics!
Locals at your local nursery are a wealth of information and classes are sprouting up all over. Get out there and plant!
