I'm getting ready to start seeds for my garden... I got some lettuce,
two types of tomatoes (one's an early girl hybrid, supposed to grow in
50 days.) and some carrots and green beens. Pretty good start for a
soup, right? Now, where can I get some beef seeds? lol

I'm starting using dirt from a driveway project, which is pretty much
all topsoil with some plants in it (which I'm working on straining out)
so hopefully I'll have a good starting place.

If this soil has been part of a driveway, it may be contaminated with oil
etc, and not good for your garden. Alternatively if it has just been dug up
after spending years underneath concrete or asphalt, it will equally not be
so good. In that instance |I would recommend digging in a dose of general
purpose fertiliser, chicken manure or whatever you favour.

I would start the lettuce off in pots, several to a pot,then plant out when
they're 2 inches or more tall, this means that you can turn over the soil
when you plant them out and give them a head start over the weeds.
