Hello

[Micheleteresa]

Hello everyone. I currently only have a plant and flower garden. The soil were I currently live is very sandy and I suspect very much polluted because the home had been vacant for seven years and during that time the auto shop that shares the property was using the yard space and when we first moved in and were cleaning up the yard there were small puddles of motor oil throughout the yard. I am interested in container gardening that can be done on my front porch and window box gardening. When I lived in Puerto Rico it was easy to grow many things with little to no effort, here in New York Its a whole new Journey!

It's always difficult when moving to a new area, especially when you've moved so far. Don't give up though, you can still have a beautiful, peaceful garden where you are. It sounds like containers will be the easiest way to get started, you can start with good, fertile soil then pick out some pretty plants at your local garden center. I've found that raised beds work well, too, when you have less than ideal soil in your yard. They're a little time consuming to prepare, but well worth the effort. Good luck in your new home, and I hope that you are successful in your new garden! Have fun.
