Gardening

= Plants good for beginners =


 * 1) Onions, garlic, chives. These are easy to grow in poor soil, just keep them watered but not soaking wet, they don't like wet feet. It's normal for them to die back in the hottest summer months, they will return in the fall. These are cool weather plants.
 * 2) Walking onions, aka Egyptian onions, spread quickly by themselves. They product mild onions underground about 1.5" wide, but also baby onions on top. The top onions are also edible. In the summer the tops die down and the baby onions fall over, touch the soil, and take root. Thus they "walk" around and spread.
