Hi, my name is Jean Ann Van Krevelen and I blog at gardentofarmer.net. And my gardening
tip is a little bit off the beaten path. But I'm traditionally a lazy gardener. And I really
don't like to weed. So I recommend having a martini or two prior to weeding. It makes
it all so much more pleasant. Hi, I'm Steve Bender. I am Southern Living's Grumpy Gardener.
And I've killed more plants than probably most of you have ever grown. Sometimes it's
my fault. But sometimes it's the fault of the stinkin' plant. Now, one thing I tell
people is when you're plants die, don't always feel so bad. Think about this: if everything
you ever planted in your garden lived, pretty soon it would be all filled up. And with my
garden, I've got so many plants that if something doesn't die, I have to take a good plant out
to put something new in. So, when you kill a plant--if makes you feel better--go ahead
and have a little funeral service. But if it were me, I'd have a party. Because now
I get to plant something new. Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay! My name is Linda Tyson and my blog is Garden
Girl. And I'm here to tell people who think that they can't grow a vegetable garden unless
they have full sun–that that's not true. I've lived for a number of years in properties,
older homes, and the gardens–my vegetable gardens have always been in part sun. I grow
tomatoes, cucumbers–all kinds of greens. Greens are great in part sun. But even tomatoes,
cucumbers, peppers–things that people think you have to have full sun for–I'm here to
tell you that is not true. You can grow a great vegetable garden even if you only have
part sun 3 to 4 hours a day.
