What I learned : There are so many options when it comes to gardening: type of gloves, organic or not, regular or worm composting, etc. etc. How I learned: through websites, blogs, YouTube, library books, and asking people who garden - like a teacher in the workroom that I just met. What I decided/answered questions: Do I need special soil? (No.) What's the cost of supplies and equipment? (So far, about $30.) New questions: Use pots or plant in the ground? If pots, where will I get them from and how much more money will that cost? Next steps: Go on a field trip. Resources Squire, D. (2009). The compost specialist: The essential guide to creating and using garden compost, and using potting and seed composts. London: New Holland. Smith, E. (2011). The vegetable gardener's container bible.

I can't wait to see your progress and hear what you found works the best. Sheila L. Davis( [email protected] ) 7/24/2015 01:38:48 Thanks for your encouragement. Andrea Jacobs( [email protected] ) 7/22/2015 08:06:08 What are you going to do with the fertilizer and tools, are you going to redesign your garden and use the water to keep it hydrated? Looks cool! Sheila L. Davis( [email protected] ) 7/24/2015 01:40:14 I'm gonna use those tools. But, I'm still figuring things out. I don't know about "redesigning the garden". I want to keep things simple.
