I am not strong enough to begin a recoil type engine. ( I have a DR trimmer which has an electric begin system.) Why are there not more electic begin products on the market? As we all know, our senior citizen ranks are growing. With gardening implements that are simple to begin and use, it seems to me that there would be a demanding market for such tools.

I have planted tomotoes, cucumbers, cantalope, yellow squash, bell peppers, lettuce and oregano so far.

Any advice or helpful hints for growing healthy, pest and chemical free vegies? I don’t want the bugs to take up the plants and I do NOT want to spray chemicals.

Other than weeding and watering, what else should I be doing to help them grow huge and delicious?

At the moment, I do not live in an area that will grant me to actually begin a garden, but I would still like to learn about organic gardening and possibly begin growing herbs and small vegetables in my apartment.

If anyone could advocate to me some solid websites and books, I would much appreciate it. Thanks.
