Some of the Things I Plant To Plant
I have finally figured out some of the things I want to grow in my garden. It took forever to decide but I have created a short list.
-a mixture of herbs good for cooking stuff like mint etc.
-tomatoes
-peppers
-maybe some sort of bean.
-sunflowers
-roses are already planted in my yard
-snapdragons
-pansies
I'm not sure what else to grow if you have any suggestions please let me know :D

Hannah, what are you basing this list on? Have you been asking people? My Academy is starting to ask these questions. Take a look at our Academy questions: http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/were-looking-to-learn-about

Hannah, careful to pay attention to water/shade/sun requirements. Basil often thrives in sun, as can thyme and rosemary (these last two are perennials--plant them in borders or near roses, perhaps?) ... Mint might like shade of Sunflowers since it doesn't like to burn...Beans might like to climb sunflowers, so if you get really tall sunflowers you can double efficiency. Birds like sunflower seeds, though, so if you want to harvest, maybe get couple of extra and cover "yours" with cheesecloth or something as seeds ripen, and leave one for the birds? Peppers are good plants; cuc**bers might be easy to grow if you already have trellis for roses and extra space. Pansies might not be summer season flowers, depending on your climate. Nasturtiums are beautiful climbing, hanging, or ground-trailing flowers (you train the stems) which are colorful, edible, attractive to butterflies, and easy to get seeds for succession planting or for next year. Snapdragons are fun; you might like zinnias as well. Chrysanthemums are good for fall, and perennials, as well. Marigolds have very long season and repel lots of pest-insects; tomatoes can be bush or hung upside down, but if you get large plants you should have a cage or support to protect in winds and all. Are you planting in-ground, or in containers, or?? Have fun with the garden.

Tomatoes are very hard to plant, and grow but it is a good investment to put into your garden. I prefer roses, and strawberries for my garden though those are also difficult to manage. Good luck!

Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More
