Ruth asks…
where i can download “home and garden” magazine(pdf) or decoration magazine ?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Most print magazines aren’t available for download like that. If they were, why would people actually buy them?
However, many magazine have their own websites with decorating tips & ideas in addition to the print version. Here are a couple:

Mary asks…
Herb garden?
I would love to grow my own fresh herbs and spices. Is it ok to grow them indoors or should I wait for the summer to start? Also any websites or books you can offer for suggestions would be most helpful. I live in an apartment with a balcony so growing one in a garden won’t do. Thanks
GardenersCardiff answers:
I grew herbs on our balcony and in my bedroom window (it’s the only place that gets enough sun!)
I subscribe to a magazine called The Herb Companion. It’s a great source of information. The USDA has a web page with links about herb growing too.
Have fun!

John asks…
Will a diploma from Ashworth College’s online program in Landscape Design get me into a job in the field?
I’ve been thinking seriously for a while now about taking classes, or working toward a degree, in Landscape or Garden Design. I found this one, which suits my budget and current time limitations (just had a baby) but don’t want to do it if it’ll only get me laughed at when I start looking for work in the field. I’d be happy starting out anywhere from a garden supply store/greenhouse/nursery, or at a landscape design company.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Actually your last statement is what you need to do. Just go get a job at a nursery and go from there. Landscape design is not something you can learn online. Sure the online courses can help but I think it may be a waste of money. If you have a community college near you that would be a much better choice. The art of landscape design cannot be learned in books it must be learned in the field. So get a job first then work with them in the field and the whole time learn about the plants and techniques. Then if you want go to a local community college and take some courses in horticulture or agronomy. Then lastly you may want to read these reports about ashworth. Good luck to you in your future of landscapes.

Does Home Depot uses instant transfers with checks?
I’m going to use a check to buy gardening supplies. I was told by my bank the funds will be available tomorrow. My sister told me Home Depot could do an instant transfer on my check and decline it today. If I write a check to Home Depot will they do an instant transfer and be declined or will it take a normal 4-5 days for the money to be taken?
GardenersCardiff answers:
No! Not yet. There is talk about it but it hasn’t been done yet.
