Everything GardeningRotoplast & Self Watering Planter Systems

I am wanting to grow all types of peas, english, snow, early, alaska, etc. I have started some other plants in jiffy peat pots, but wondering about how to do the peas. Package says to sow outdoors 6-8 weeks before last spring frost, which would be about now as I live in NC. Would it work if I used the jiffy pots, and placed the container outside? Any help would be much appreciated.

I was once on a gardening/horticulture course and the people running it were so supposed to wear Polo Shirts which proved they were who they were – for the course. Anyway one removed his Polo Shirt because it was Summer and was then wearing a White T-Shirt. Should I of reported him?.

This is for a friend who has inherited an old VW pick-up truck and has natural green fingers (as far as window boxes are concerned). She wants to try out being a gardener for a living, with the truck and a few basic tools, but she knows very little about the UK market.
What is involved in being a self-employed gardener? Are there any resources/ organisations she can take a look at? And what are the different types of gardener (eg, Landscape gardener surely does big-scale stuff, but doesn’t plant flower beds, etc etc).
Is there a good book for beginners or a relevant UK class at night school that’d help?
Thanks a lot!

Getting spring fever, and planning my strategy. I know you can’t plant tomatoes in the same area year after year, but I have ran out of space. Can I go every third year or do I need to make my garden bigger? Thanks!

I can’t fence them in because we have neighborhood rules about how our yards and landscaping should be and I don’t want to harm them, but there’s a bite out of a lot of my strawberries and I find a turtle or two in the patch some mornings. Any suggestions?
