I want to say I love gardening. I love it. I am really getting a buzz out of my garden. It could be my religion in fact. Whether it's the vegies or the flowers or the trees it's all good. A plant doesn't argue with you it will accept you for you and that's it. It could be unconditional love i give and i receive back. You really get back what you put into it.

Hi there, 'fire dragon'. I have most of what you suggested already. Thanks and these are good suggestions for anyone starting out. I have large pots to grow my herbal plants in. They work very well. Positioning in relation to the sun and soil quality is important. Some plants can't tolerate much water while others can't get enough. If you read the plants 'label' when you buy it you can't go too far wrong following the instructions. If you can get a copy of the Yates garden guide that will help any gardener.
