Hi Bluebird.
Yes, I'm an avid gardener of mostly ornamental and tropical plants in my beautiful courtyard garden. I do a little bit of herb and summer vegetable growing. A few tips for raising edible plants from seeds....I usually strike my seeds in small covered trays, then transfer them to a 'raised' garden bed or box when they become seedlings. It is important to refer to the directions about how much sun and water is required especially when they are young. Referring to your local nursery about controlling pests is always a good idea.

Happy Gardening...and eating. Q.L
