The How to Grow It Project Learn from the mistakes of others because you'll never live long enough to make them all yourself. This material cannot be quoted at length or posted elsewhere on the net or included in CD ROM collections.

These pages started because I realized there was an extremely clever way to create a self-organizing FAQ for rec.gardens, unfortunately no one else caught the vision. But here is the original idea, feel free to tell me how great it is. These pages give my experience with growing certain plants, mostly plants native to around the Chicago area but some others as well. Here is what happened to me when Chemlawn did a sloppy job with the neighbor's lawn. A list of links, some to reference sites, some to seed companies and some to photo collections, very poorly organized.
