Herbal Remedies - Container Gardening

[Guest guest]

Candace,

 

I used to have a book on container gardening, but cant locate it

right now for the name (in a box somewhere) But i have seen a couple

on the subject online at Amazon. Also i just picked up a great

little book at Seeds of Change online store that is all about

companion gardening and she talks a little about

containters. " Carrots Love Tomatoes "

 

The pepper seeds take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to sprout. Did you

sow them outside or in a pot? They may come up yet. I grew several

kinds of peppers in my apt porch. Anaheim and hungarian wax. They

did great.

 

If you cant buy books, maybe the library to check some out? Many

library's have copiers and you can copy important stuff for future

reference?
