Growing vegetables in your own garden or yard is one of the most rewarding things I can think of. After all, you get to grow your own food and pick something fresh when you need it for dinner.

Whether indoors or outdoors, you can add a little life to your windowsill, your balcony or your yard in just a few steps.

Space — or the lack of it — doesn’t have to stand between you and a fruitful garden. You just have to be creative.

With all the recent rain, how do I know when garden and landscape plants need water? With the heat, some leaves look wilted.
