I thought this would be a fun but useful post.

If you had one piece of advice for gardening, what would it be? Like that one thing your discovered or learned that to your results to the next level.

Mine: Mulch your fruit trees well. This will help retain moisture and also keep grass and weeds from popping up which could compete with the tree for nutrients.

    Dwarf/small plants for small spaces. I spent years trying to grow regular sized tomatoes on a balcony and having them go totally wild. Now with dwarf tomatoes I can easily fit them in pots in my yard. Same with sweet peas- they make varieties that grow shorter, which is great if you don’t have a super tall space to grow in.

    In general find varieties that work for your space/garden and grow those. It’s okay to not grow the same stuff as everyone else.

    Also, grow potatoes in buckets. Gosh darn it but the home grown veg guy is right. It’s just easier.
