Default Family Contest

How will you decide who wins? Biggest tomato or the most corn???

Depends where you live and what soil you have and what you want to grow.

If in the US, stop by your County Extension office and talk to the Ag
Agent.

I am with the old guys, being one myself...

John!

My two uncles and I are having a gardening contest and they are saying
they can beat me just because they are older than me and have more
experience (I'm very young). Even though that may be true, I think I
can win because I have the help of the Internet on my side. They garden
with advice only from old books and magazines. I already have a bit of
a head start because I've started some seeds indoors already. Plus,
even with school, I have more time on my hands than they do, so I can
garden more often (besides, I have summer vacation whereas they still
have to work in the summer). Our competition is mostly for our
vegetable gardens, so any tips, tricks, and advice you can give me is
really appreciated.
