I like to garden. I live in South Georgia and it is really hot here. It is a good thing my cats like to garden with me. Right now one of those critters is trying to sleep on the monitor.
Gardening can be a cheap form of therapy.
My favorite way of starting a garden is to buy from mail order sources. Usually I cannot find the selection of seeds and plants I want at the local Wal-Mart. I like to order from Gurney's Seed catalogue . I have been really satisfied with them. They even give you some free samples.
