This will be an ongoing list of tips I have learned along the way...(often the HARD way!)
-use soapy water to kill squash bugs
-plant marigolds around the perimeter of the garden bed to help repel bugs
-tomatoes and basil love eachother
-pick pieces of lettuce instead of the entire head...this makes for great variety in the salad
-plant shorter plants in the east and taller plants in the west to prevent the taller plants from blocking the sun
-do not plant tomatoes in my zone before May
-be sure to space out squash..they need lots of room
-put cherry tomatoes in a TALL tomato cage or next to a tall climbing structure
-deadhead flowers for optimal growth
-be sure to plant flowers and vegetables that need a lot of water next to eachother, and those that need less water together
-put vaseline under your nails when you are working in the soil if you do not want to wear gardening gloves
