Sugesstion: Gardening

Ask:
I know a bunch of us use Gardening to stay frugal and some of us are looking to gardening as an attept to be MORE frugal. I personally want to try and grow my own things this year. Essp Tomatoes, I really seem to have that black thumb! I think a garderning section would be a great thing for helpful hints and questions about gardening. Maybe a subforum in this section?? Or a stickey? Feel free to tell me NO, thats dumb!
Answer:

Hi! I might be able to give you a few hints on your tomatoes. We own greenhouses, do annuals & veggies, and my husband is a grower. We do mostly wholesale through our broker but also have a small retail. What kind of info. are you looking for? I think the gardening idea is great. We are all looking for those little hints!
