Topic #1: So for our 1st issue I thought it would be fitting to hear about everyone’s beginnings in gardening.

Topic #3: Seed starting. Tell us about your indoor setup and your tips for starting seeds in late winter / early spring. How about what you direct sow outside?
Topic #4: What does organic mean to you? Do you use any organic practices in growing your vegetables? How far / extreme do you go when it comes to your organic practices? What are you willing to live with and live without? How does the word organic influence you when you are shopping?
