I love learning new things about gardening, esp. the veggie garden. Would love to hear anything helpful like- how to keep the bugs off your veggies and from destroying your garden, what to plant early, etc. Would love to hear your knowlege about gardening!

I live in connecticut so not to far off.. love to garden. for the pests you can plant marigolds around the outside for natural bug control any plants with excess pests you can use seven dust it is sold most anywhere . you can plant most root veggies early like carrots, onions, turnip, also some beans and peas.when you plant carrots you can add a little sand to the soil if the soil is too hard the carrots will come out short and fat.tomatos however are my specialty you can plant basil in between the plants aloso helps with the bugs . don’t know if this is true but old time farmers tell me that if you plant your carrots next to the tomatos then it will help sweeten the tomatos .. good luck and happy gardening
