> How many of you have started planning gardens?

I plant flower bulbs.  I have tried growing things, from veg to
wildflowers, from seed and never have much luck with them coming up.  Even
planted some ornamental beans a couple of times that never came up.

I have fair to good luck with cherry and grape tomato plants growning well
and bearing fruit.  I will probably buy 2-3 of those and plant them
sometime in early May, after the threat of frost is mostly gone.

I tried planting a couple of pepper plants one year.  The bell peppers
never did anything.  The banana peppers did grow but tasted more like bell
peppers than bananas, and it only bore 2 or 3 peppers real late in the
season.

We don't have a Menards nearby, just Lowes.  I think the nearest Menards is
over an hour away in Southern Indiana... they may have one in Louisville
now.  I wish we had one as I think they usually have better deals.
