Michael asks…
I have some Korean licorice mint seeds on the way. What is the best way to grow them?
I am in zone 9 for gardening and in zone 5 in Arizona. I’m not sure what the best method is to start germination, what kind of sun/warmth it needs or watering and soil or if I should sow indoors or outdoors.
If you have any tips for sowing camellia sinensis seeds, as well, fel free to share. 
Thank you for your help!

If you are talking about Agastache rugosa or really any plant in the Agastache Genus, the best way to germinate the seeds is to sow them in peat pots at about 55-65ºF. If you are growing them indoors plant 6 to 8 weeks before planting outside. Barely cover the seeds with soil. The seeds can take up to 90 days to germinate but usually between 30 and 90 days.
Mandy asks…
When to plant a vegetable garden in zone 4a?
I want to plant a variety of vegetables:
green beans
tomatoes
green peppers
cucumbers
jalepenos
carrots
I am wondering when to plant? I live in central MN on the Western side, which is zone 4a. When should I plant my seeds in the ground????
GardenersCardiff answers:
I’m pretty sure Donna meant to say Memorial Day. As long as there is no risk of frost, you can plant. Check to see when the average last frost date is for your area.
Susan asks…
Is it too late to start a garden in zone 5?
I’ve been thinking about a garden all year. Now that it’s time, I’ve been really busy. Is it too late to start a garden? If not, what are the first things I should do, and when should I start planting?
Thanks!
GardenersCardiff answers:
Not too late! Actually, you’re exactly on time! Cold weather plants can be put in now, like radishes, lettuce, peas, spinach, kale, pansies and stuff. Start seeds for tomato and peppers inside now (or wait and buy starts in may).
You can weed now, till, dig, add manure, and otherwise get ready even if you’re not planting now. Most of your tender veggies will not go in for another 6-8 weeks or so, but there’s plenty you can do to get ready, and always some things you can plant now.
