Which herbs and plants are easiest to grow for someone that is not familiar with gardening?

Shannon B asked:


I live in New Orleans, Louisiana and have been wanting to grow my own herbs and small plants. I don’t have experience in gardening whatsoever and I’d like to know what I should start off with and what plants/herbs are good for this climate (hot and humid). I would like to plant something within the next month. What’s good to plant at this time of year?

blackberry gardening tips?

?Sarai? asked:


I planted blackberry in my garden in Feb. It gave lots of blackberries for several months, then with all the Gulf Coast hurricane season rain, it died off. It is coming back, so I pruned most of the tall dead looking branches. Any tips?
Do I need to re-stake it?
Its thorny : )

Where to find mini-tools for gardening indoors in pots?

Darjeeling Snow asked:


Hi
I had a little set when I was younger. It had a little rake about 1 1/2″ wide, plus one wide and one skinny trowel. It was just perfect for gardening in the house, for herb pots and the like. I would like another one, if possible with more things.

Thank you in advance

I have a long plastic pot for gardening. What should I plant in it?

DingoJane asked:


It needs to be able to thrive in a pot. The pot is about 7 inches deep or so. What i last had in there died (beans) from the heat. What is compatible with this kind of outdoor potting?

I need help and advise about easier gardening for disabled?

Bains Gram asked:


I am a disabled woman but gardening is my passion, I have not been able to get my hands in the dirt in a long time except for house plants and flower pots. Well I finaly got a mobility scooter. After 3 years being inside my house I can now go out side. I still can’t stand or bend but I saw a picture of raised gardening, I think I can work in. How can I build one with VERY LITTLE MONEY. I’ve looked on internet and they all cost over $100.00. That would be all my grocery money. any ideas?????
