I tried my hand at gardening last year and had some good results with a
few of the items I put in the ground. Blueberries, Jal. Peppers, Habanero
Peppers, Figs, Meyer Lemons and Herbs. However, I had terrible problems with
my tomatoes, cucs, squash, cantelope, watermelon, and green peanuts - bug
after bug after bug to the point that I gave up the fight. I also got in a
little over my head for a starter and probably shouldn't have planted so
much for my first time. I'm not a beginner gardner, but I have a lot to
learn still. I've since moved to a new home, which means I have to start all
over again - someone else got the benefit of my blueberries and fruit
trees.The problem I have now though, is my new home has a HORRID problem
with Moles. Every neighbor has them and they have found very little in the
way of relief. I can't see putting anything in the ground, I know the moles
will tear them up. I'd like to do some more container gardening, especially
since I have a beautiful large front porch with plenty of sun and air
circulation. Can anyone recommend good plants for container growing, yield
need only be enough for two people. I like to can things as well. Should I
stick with local garden center seedlings or go the start from seed route? If
so, where is the best place to buy seeds, and where can I get catalogues
from the top seed companies for next year?
