Hi Growing Veggies,

You don't say if you will be starting your seeds indoors or sowing directly in the garden.* Based on your other post about growing tomatoes from seed, I'm going to guess you will be starting your seeds indoors and then transplanting outdoors.* Here's your other post.
http://www.backyardgardener.com/foru...um52/2651.html

This first site discusses how to start tomatoes from seed. The instructions are basic for starting most other veggie seeds.* There are no pics though.* The second site is for starting herbs from seed and has some great pics, so you might like that one better.* Again, the basics are the same and these sites are for starting your seeds indoors.

For sowing directly in the garden:

More tomato and pepper growing info.* I'm guessing that you will be growing sweet peppers.

Tomato - Based on what you say is your last frost date in your other post, I'm guessing you live in a warm climate such as Florida, Texas or California.

You might want to make a foldable trellis for your cucumbers.

I did a little googling and found that Cornucopia seeds are a new line of seeds from Renee's Garden.

You can look up Renee's Garden at the Garden Watchdog site I gave you.

That's a good assortment of tools.* The large pruners are for large branches and you won't be needing those.

Do you have any pictures of the garden spaces you want to plant in?
