    Hi!
    I'm from northern Virginia, Loudoun County to be more precise. I am starting a container garden on my back deck, mostly veggies but some flowers for my own personal enjoyment. My goal is to include my 3 rambunctious boys in gardening . We'll see how that goes. I am looking for any advice on container/small space gardens. Thanks!

    I think you've found just the right place to get advice Christina so ask as many questions as you like.

    A warm welcome to you from a rather chilly Scotland.

    Thanks for all the friendly greetings! I am starting to get my ordered/exchanged seeds so I can start them indoors. We're having up and down weather this winter, it was 75 on Tues/Wed but we got a dusting of snow and 25+ mph winds today! Hoping things settle down soon.

    Hi, Christina! Welcome from central Texas! I love container gardening, too. It's fun to experiment. Don't forget the enjoyment you get from those flowers is really a bonus. They also lure pollinators in to spread the veggie joy!

    Welcome, we always gardened as kids. The most fun was growing sunflowers.
