reader.erin asked:


Every time I buy a houseplant or look something up that’s related to any kind of gardening I get completely lost in all the terminology, latin names, etc.

I’d like to get better at gardening and growing things without having to get my degree in horticulture. Are there any sources (websites/books) for beginners who don’t understand all the “big words” ?


What is the appropriate time to start gardening?

I want my vegetables to be in full bloom in late spring or early summer. So, when should I start my gardening to make that possible? Thanks!
