On whether now is the right time to start gardening:
"So it is, but not outside yet. The gardening can actually be started by seed in the house. A lot of your vegetables that you were going to put outside are actually close to two months away from really going outside — like your tomatoes, your peppers, those types of things. We're waiting for the last frost of the season. [And] the last frost of the season is usually May 20.
"It's pretty crazy. The more north you go in the state, the later it is. You go on to the Cape, it's probably a week to ten days prior. But that doesn't mean don't start.""Well, first off, I would say don't go crazy and try to do all the hybrids and crazy varieties. Go for some of the simple. If we start going right away to those hybrids and we fail, we're not going to want to continue. So, what we're looking at: You start really a lot with herbs.
"If you want to do tomatoes, go with the smaller varieties like the Sweet 100s — those real small ones — because you're going to get such a harvest out of them, you're going to feel so much better at the end when you're like, 'Wow, I was so successful.' "You can even put in some different like squashes and cucumbers. You know, cucumbers in a container. If you grow a cucumber in a garden, you're putting a trellis or a fence or whatnot. You could buy a container, put a tomato cage in it, let those cucumbers grow up the side and all around and create a very vertical space for those where you're going to get the same amount as if you would do it outside. I mean, that right there is one thing that I would suggest doing.
