19. Tips on growing tomatoes, peppers and lettuce would be helpful

Sun Mar 9, 2014, 10:34 PM

Mar 2014

I ordered six tomato plants to put out, some black seed leaf lettuce (ready to start using in around 40 days), butter lettuce and tabasco pepper from seed to put out.

My mom and dad and my aunt (all whom live in the neighborhood) are great gardeners, but I'm not really that good at it, but want to improve. I have a little area for a garden that gets good sunlight that is about 6' by 6'.

Think I can get some things growing in that?
