    Hello every one I'm fairly new to gardening. I am good at keeping them alive and planting things that look great but I'm not so good at starting from seeds lol. Mostly have trouble with veggies. But it's a learning process glad to have a place for infom

      Welcome to Gardener's Corner Scout. Hoping that we can persuade you to become addicted to sowing, planting up in pots and then finding that you've not got space anywhere to put them in the garden...:heehee:
      lots to keep you amused here anyway,

      Right now I have a small garden planted to see how things go in a raised bed. I have sweet corn, onions, zucchini, tomatoes, sunflowers, carrots, sugar snap peas and cucumbers. The cucumber and tomatoes are the only thing I bought already ready to plant everything else I started from seeds. But I have heard that they are fairly easy to grow but I'm having good trouble with growing tomatoes and herbs from seeds. My tomatoes get about 3-4 inches tall and just die and the herbs look great for a few weeks and then the also dire off. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but each time I attempt it I get a little further and they look a little better. I enjoy being outside and working in the dirt.
