A great place to touch base with other gardeners, and learn a lot of information in the process, is to find out if there is a community garden in your area. The best method, even if you eventually want your garden outside, is to start the plants in small peat pots indoors until the seedlings are growing and healthy. You get a head-start on the planting season by doing this and, when the conditions are proper, you can transplant the plants outside into your garden. This is especially easy if you use peat pots because you can plant the pots right along with the plants. Your plants will get off to a healthy start by being grown indoors because they won't have to overcome the hurdles of bad weather or insects that could eat them while they are young. As soon as they are strong, and have developed some leaves, it's time to put them into your garden if the weather is warmer. You can use this method to get a head start on many different types of plants - flowers, herbs, and vegetables. Nevertheless, you still have to keep in mind the light and water requirements of each plant, even if you are starting the seedlings indoors.

One of the most rewarding types of plants to grow are herbs. Herbs have many uses, both as an addition to the foods you cook, soothing teas, or for medicinal uses. You will see them growing on people's windowsills, usually in the kitchen, where they can snip off what they need as they cook. Even though herbs are not difficult to grow, they still have certain requirements, such as how much water and light you give them and the temperature of their environment, as well as the nutrients in their soil. When you are shopping for herbs, pick the ones you like to cook with; however, for an easier time of it, choose herbs that are native to your area. Herbs thrive best if there is good air circulation in their vicinity. That's why window sills are good locations for growing herbs. As an alternate, you can set up a small fan to blow air gently in the area where the herbs are growing. This keeps them healthy and also makes them less vulnerable to pests.

Most folks can successfully grow plants if they just take the time to learn a little about the plants of their choice and commit to taking care of them. After you have decided to buy some plants, research the ones you are interested in to make sure you can meet its space, light, and watering requirements.
