I love the title and idea for your thread how funny! I garden to avoid 7million calories!!!!
I think the biggest thing with gardening is you can read anything ...follow anything you see others do ..take advice

gardening takes fortitude, practice and...
I washed them all well in the shower...used fly paper hung between my plants and kept hitting them with the soap mixture ..then when summer came they went outside and they are gone for two years now?
