Gateway: links to our projects, blogs, and forum discussions re: growing our own food
With the current state of our environment and our society many people are beginning to grow their own food, whether that is on a farm, in a backyard or on a balcony.
This shift to “back to the basics” has many gardeners learning about strategies to work with nature to create an abundance of organic goodness. Here, at GardenTenders.com, our members share lots of information and first-hand experiences at “living off the land”.

Terrace garden does not get place in any of the above. Is it because there was no ‘terrace garden’ tag?

I would think that terracer gardening would be similar to balcony gardening. Hope this helps.

I add “terrace” as one of the tags.
That should do it!

A good 99 cent book(I wrote it but 99 cents doesn’t me make much money – I did it because I love gardening) called, ””A No-nonsense Guide to Growing your own Vegetables.” (http://www.amazon.com/No-nonsense-Guide-Growing-Vegetables-ebook/dp/B0058IY7SK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334674543&sr=8-1). I hope you read the first few pages on Amazon and see if it sounds like something you might enjoy. Basically, I LOVE vegetable gardening and I want others to try gardening and learn how to grow their own food.
