I have a very small garden in a suburb, about 20' by 60.' It has good sunlight. Most of it is a lawn with a small border full of plants. Is there any chance at all that I could grow enough potatoes to eat so that I don't need to buy them from a supermarket - or is that completely unrealistic, just a pipe dream? I was wondering if I could buy seeds (or whatever it is you have to buy!) and just try growing some potatoes at the end or in a corner...just to keep my bills down and also out of sheer curiousity...

I am the first to admit that I know absolutely nothing about gardening...or farming. If I'm talking b/s please put me out of my misery now...but I just can't help wondering...

Many thanks.

I tried all kinds of pellets, gas from Home Depot and Lowes. My grass has a lot of mounds at all corners and the ghophers still keeps on digging. Is there a more effective way of getting rid of these rodents? They are destroying my lawn pretty bad.

I have just realized that my new garden boxes have been made out of treated pine, and I want to put vegetables in this area. I have found out that treated pine is poisonous and vegetables should not been grown near them. My gardener has placed plastic between the treated pine and the soil. Would that make it safer for veggies to be grown?
