I have an area that I am starting up as a vege garden, but am having trouble due to it drying out and stunting the plants
I water as much as i can and even use a deep root waterer, but unless I do it every day, the plants start to shrivel.
The garden is mulched, soil is poor(quite sandy). I have introduced some compost and manure and the organic material has nearly gone already.
What are some vegetables herbs or other edible/useful plants that I could grow?

I’ve tried growing them indoors and keep killing them, so I thought I’d try outside now that I have moved into a home with a great garden.
Thanks!

I live in new hampshire, and I have a pretty steep area of forest in my neighborhood, where would I find any kind of herb around here? I have to grow specifics to cook with (obviously) but I was curious to see if there was anything easily identifiable around here.

I live in North Texas around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I can’t get any flowers to grow good. Either they need shade but it’s too hot or they need sun but our yard is kind of shaded. What is a good flower that will live and preferably are annuals.

A few people around my area “Iowa in United States” have been placing toilets in their front yard. Some grow flowers in them. This all started before 9/11. I have never really understood or heard the meaning of it.

I live in Northern California where it is sunny and warm (no rain, will have to water manually) through the months of April-September. I would like to start a vegetable garden, maybe some herbs also. What would be a good starter garden for me? I would like to know what veggies/herbs I can grow and have a good turn out, and also maybe a how-to link as this is my first time. Also, what is the turn around time from planting to kitchen table? Any help is greatly appreciated 
TY!

I would like to make a raised bed garden for my vegetables this year. The area I have to work with is 14′x6′ and I’d like to make a couple of boxes (both squares and rectangular) to go into that area. I plan to grow lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and a couple misc. vegetables. I would like to do this in the most cost effective way because I’m just a cheap person, but I’d also like it to look nice. I would love the beds to be made of wood, but the lumber isle of the hardware store is scary. Let alone trying to get the lumber home and heaven forbid I have to cut the wood. I think you get the idea. I see a lot of nice kits online, but once again I’m just too cheap to buy them when I think I can make something nice myself. Any ideas?
