Your Questions About Gardening

Lisa asks…

If everyone grew at least a few veges in their garden, would it make a difference to the environment?

I grow all of my own herbs and leafy green (spinach, lettuce, bok choi, rocket, silverbeet) – i find them easy to grow, easy to pick what I need, and that store bought greens don’t last long in the fridge.
Apart from the convenience to me – does this help the environment?
My back yard is inner city – measures 5m x 5m.

GardenersCardiff answers:

This helps the environment because, no one is driving your produce to or from a store, no gas is being used to transport them.. So no cars are giving off polution in the air or carbons.
No plastic bags, or cartons etc.. Are being used to sell them in… Which uses less oil. And makes for less trash in our land fills.
You can grow without using harmful herbicides or pesticides, which run off into the environment.
So, by growing at home you do all that! 😀
Keep on growing stuff at home. Good job!

Lizzie asks…

What veggies and herbs grows well in central Illinois?

Now that it’s warm, I’m getting excited to start planting some things in my new back yard. I know NOTHING about growing ANYTHING. I can’t keep a cactus alive. However, I’d really like to start growing my own vegetables and herbs this season. Any ideas on what I can grow, when to start, and how to keep it alive?
Thanks!

GardenersCardiff answers:

Square Foot Gardening…get the book at the library. Makes gardening simple.

While you are there, ask the librarian for any resources they may have for gardening in your area. I just left my library with a few brochures.

Ruth asks…

How much attention do growing fresh herbs need?

We live in a small unit, without a window sill but with a balcony. I’ve always avoided recipes with many herbs, but I don’t mind just buying one (expensive) bunch, and make good use of it. Growing your own herbs seem like too much work and I don’t even know how. So what exactly do I do??

GardenersCardiff answers:

I have basil, oregano, sage, thyme and rosemary growing in inside window boxes. And frankly don't pay much attention to them. They might get watered twice a week or not. Point is once you get them going, mine were started from greenhouse sprouts, the damn things grow like weeds.
