Wow, I didn’t know there was an FR Gardening Thread. Pretty neat. I’ve been a long-time lurker, but just joined FR the beginning of this month, so I’ve got a lot to learn.

I’ve only been gardening for two years, but have really fallen in love with it.

One subject some might find interesting is Winter Sowing, especially if you’ve got the urge to play in the dirt in the middle of winter. It could be a bit of a controversial topic, but I tried it for the first time last year, and it worked for me. This site explains how to make plastic containers into mini greenhouses, and set them outside in the winter:

The containers may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, but it’s a fun winter project for antsy gardeners.

There are also FAQs and a message board on this site:
