I am pretty new to the world of gardening, and I’d love to join a group where I can learn from fellow gardeners and get together, etc…the only problem is that I haven’t a clue as to how to go about finding such a group. I live in Scranton, PA. I’ve googled it every way I could think of and have come up empty.

Any ideas for me? Thanks.

The very best gardening club is the Master Gardeners. This link below will connect you to the closest chapter. These folks are serious gardeners who want to help other learn about gardening.

Does anyone know where I can buy Vermiculite for gardening other than online?

You should be able to get it at your local nursery. Also check hardware stores and places like Orchard Supply, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc. If you go to their web sites, you can shop around for the best deal while saving time and gas, as well as money.



I live in TN. So, far we have had about 2 weeks of warm weather (60s & 70s) before spring even set in. Last year, our winter ended right around this time also unlike past decade where cold weather ( < 60F) would last through April. So, should I wait a little longer or can I go ahead and start my flower gardening now?

Rather than relying on daytime high temperatures, you should check out nighttime lows to see if there has been frost recently, and if you expect frost to continue.

Meanwhile, you can prepare the soil, by putting a fresh layer of topsoil on it, and raking it in to the existing soil. If you believe in fertilizer, you could mix that in, too.

Some flowers are very hardy in cold weather, pansies, for example.
