Hope C asked:


All of the books I have read, say that you MUST use certified seed potatoes. Is there any reason I shouldn’t seed out some of the organic fingerling potatoes I already have? I can understand not using regular storebought potatoes, but shouldn’t organic be okay? Same question about sweet potatoes. Any tips or advice will be appreciated!

Puma asked:


I was wondering if there are any traditional English garden plants like Foxglove that can be grown in containers and if this is a good time to start planting. Thanks!

I’m a novice gardener and I’m interested in starting a vegetable garden next year, but would need to do it in containers. Do you have any book recommendations for container gardening? I’m also looking for suggestions on how to get started and what would be easy to grow in containers. Thanks!

Suzannah C asked:


I’m considering trying this- I’m going to cut the top off of a 2 liter soda bottle, poke some drain holes in the bottom, and use it for container veggie gardening, for smaller plants that do not need much room. Anyone else have experience with this or objections? What veggies should I try? Suggest away!
Also, my back deck receives part sunlight.
Thanks, Paul. I’m in San Diego too. Can anyone think of anything other than herbs that may work? Any great places in San Diego to get seeds/plants for veggies and herbs?
Marilyn- thanks for the tip. What if I line the bottle with a piece of a dark trash bag or something like that?
