My Mom was the gardener now that she has passed I wish I would of paid more attention.I do find myself missing the time her and I spent in her garden. The yard has lots of sun little shade. Thanks for the help.

Aside from commercial places and nurseries, check out farmer's markets, church sales, etc. Also check you local extension service and see if they have a Master gardener sale. And once you get familiar with gardening, consider joining. Well worth it. And one of you best bets would be a local gardening group. Virtually all communities have at least one. In my city of 80,000 we have half a dozen or so.

Sorry for the loss of your Mother. My Mom died last year and she was an avid gardener. I learned a lot from her about vegetables when I was a wee kid.
