I have lots of veggie seedings I’ve started, and will be moving to the garden or larger containers soon. I have some herbs, greens, beets, tomatoes, and I forget what else. I have a 4x4 raised bed and I’m planning to add another.
What do people use as a resource? I am pretty new to gardening and I get lost in the research sometimes.

If you're on FB, I bet you can find a gardening group for your state. I was able to find a Colorado Gardening FB group, and I found it really useful for tips and tricks. This year, we started some seeds inside side I have an AeroGarden with an adjustable grow light. So far, we have started cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumber. Only the tomato has sprouted 🤷 We were going to start lettuce outside, but more snowy weather is coming this week, so a big 👎👎 to that

We have started tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, sweet peas, green beans, and pumpkin from seed in our garage. Everything is sprouted and growing great, except for the bell peppers which are way behind, but still sprouting.
I’m not exactly sure where mh plans to put these seedlings. We have a raised flower bed out front that may work. But I had thought he was going to build some raised beds in the back. 🤷🏼♀️
We also have onion, asparagus, and strawberries already in the ground. And we planted apple, cherry, pear, plum, fig, and asian pear trees around the property a few months ago. The trees are already sprouting leaves and I even had one sweet little cherry blossom this spring. 💜
Oh. And I want to put a trellis in the front raised flower bed and put blackberries. I miss our blackberry bushes from the old house!

We're going to do some landscaping this year and hopefully make more of a garden area.
Last year I planted 6 tomato plants in planters and they grew out of control and we had a crazy abundance of tomatoes. So this year I'm going to do 3 tomatoes, and put pepper plants in the other 3 planters. I'd also like to try melons but only if I can find them already started.
We're planning on planting an apple tree this spring but I haven't decided on the location yet.
Hopefully next year we'll have an actual garden and my dream is to grow a ton of French breakfast radishes ❤️

I started my peppers back in January. They and my pansies are hanging out at my best friends house because she's got south facing windows and I do not. I just got a light to use though, so next year! The other day I planted beans, two types of peas, two types of tomatoes, and petunias (for the 3rd time because I'm stubborn) - no movement on those yet. I'm planning to direct sow two types of cucumbers, carrots, radish, lettuce, spinach, and maybe beets? We're also going to buy cherry tomato starts because I couldn't find any decently priced seeds. And some herbs because they're finicky I guess. Our last frost date is quite late - beginning of June, although I usually plant out end of May if the forecast looks good. Supposed to work on building our planter boxes for the apartment at the beginning of May. My best friends hubby is totally redoing their backyard to accomodate a huge raised garden surrounding their patio swing - I think I gave them the gardening bug lol. rugger most lettuces are cold hardy! You can plant it out and cover it if you want and it'll do fine =) look up winter sowing.
