I just started getting into gardening lately.  Do you garden?
I do. I find it to be very relaxing. I really enjoy seeing my products grow!
Do you have any advice for a novice?  Should I grow from seeds or just buy sprouted plants?
I think it depends if you plan to garden for small use, with mainly one crop, or have a large number of crops or flowers?
I would like to grow a variety of vegetables in a 4 foot by 8 foot raised box!
Oh, well that sounds great! You can add ornamental foliage to your garden, or root and leaf vegetables, herbs or fruits. Great for eating and medicinal uses.
