Is it possible for me to build my own a garden greenhouse?
One of my best friends is a gardening fanatic and I notice that I become more and more interested in gardening. I am planning to have my own garden but you know the day is cold now. I wonder is it possible for me to build my own a garden greenhouse? How to do that?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Firstly it’s brilliant you want to get into gardening. I can tell you that you will get lots of good exercise and if you opt for growing fruit and veg, your grocery bills are going to come way down.
Yes, you can build your own greenhouse. These mostly come in kit form from a DIY supplier and they have a range of sizes to choose from.
Here’s a guide on building a greenhouse – http://hometipster.com/Gardening/how_to_build_a_greenhouse.aspx

Help with what to plant in new garden?
I’m new to the whole gardening thing; I have an area outside I’d like to plant in…it’s a raised area next to the house surrounded by rocks. It gets lots of sunlight throughout the day. Any suggestions what to plant there? I want a variety of height and color. Can I go to a garden store and just buy a bunch of flowers?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Welcome to gardening!
Since you are new, you will want things that are easy to care for. I chose a bunch of culinary stuff for my bed: Tomatoes, green peppers, basil, oregano, sage, and lemon balm. You may want to actually put the lemon balm and oregano in containers, because these two plants are related to mints. Which can spread aggressively. I also got marigold seed.
Check at your local nursery: There should be someone who can advise you there. And take a look at the Arbor Day foundation site for planting zones: There has been some change in climate since the zones were first established.
Good luck!

What can I grow in a small garden with poor sunlight in London?
Hi,
I am new to gardening and I have a small garden with poor sunshine. I would like to grow plants (trees) or some vegetables, what do you suggest? I really would like to plant lemons but I guess I needs lots of light for them!
Thank you

One of the coolest things you can do in a place like london is to grow smaller things, pretty much anything in a hydroponic garden atmosphere. It works so incredibly well. ‘
Also if you want to grow outdoors use low light herbs and things. They are gorgeous to look at and you can use them in your foods or for other things as well.
Amazon has this thing to grow stuff inside that I love. Its pretty expensive but it works. There are also little lights that you can use to grow things inside that don’t take up much space. I live in a cooler climate like you in the winter time so growing things outdoors isn’t always easy but you can do it inside very nicely wtihout much room.
I’ve tried pasting in the link twice but it won’t work to show you teh image so here is the link to the product.
