come across that mention how many new gardeners there seem to be this season as compared to previous years.  Largely due to the economy, people are looking for ways to raise their own crops of organic garden goodies.

Here is a recent article in the Lancaster County Newspaper that gardeners might find interesting:

• Did you know that tomatoes and peppers are the easiest veggies to grow in containers?  They are easy for newbie gardeners and those who are limited with space – grow a tomato plant on your deck!

Does this news excite you as much as it does me?  It makes me wish these rainy days would end already so that I can go out and play in the dirt, not to mention make myself a yummy tomato salad (with basil!).
