5 Tips to Growing Your Own Salad Greens
In continuation of the tips promised from my previous article “Growing Your Own Food”, here are my tips for growing your own lettuce or salad greens. This one is going to be short and only 5 tips. I am in no way a professional gardener and so I always recommend to do your research and also check what garden zone you live in. I live in zone 9b, and these are tips that have worked for me. I have grown lettuce and salad greens both indoor, in ground, in pots and in dirt bags. I highly recommend an Aerogarden if you would like to grow indoor. It will not get you to where you are eating salad greens daily, but it will get you to a point where you are at least eating them once or twice a week. They have different options for how many pods you can buy, so you could potentially do more than the 6 pod Aerogarden and possibly get greens more than once to twice a week. They also have kits for growing tomatoes, peppers and herbs in them and are definitely worth checking out. OK, so lets dive into the five tips for growing your own salad greens.

10 Tips that helped me Grow the Most Tomatoes
In my last article, “ Growing Your Own Food”, I promised to do an article for each of the plants I listed with tips I have learned that have helped me when growing them in my small space garden. I chose each of the varieties on that list because I was able to successfully grow them and get a decent harvest from each of them whether they were planted in the ground or in a pot. Some of them I even was able to successfully grow indoors. I will include all of that info in each of the articles for each of the varieties. I also mentioned some recipes that I have used to change it up a bit and keep it interesting, and those will come in separate articles as well. Each article will contain my top 10 or fewer tips that I found that made gardening with those particular plants the easiest. I chose to only do the most important 10 or fewer because when I was starting out gardening too many facts would become information overload and I would end up forgetting most of them and becoming frustrated. I remember growing up as a child when I would garden with my mother, she was like a fountain of knowledge and I could literally ask her anything and she seemed to know everything. Now that I am older, she has taught me that the information really does not come out of a book, but from experience. You learn as you go, it is the hard experiences that stick with you the most. So remember, if you kill a plant and you know what you did wrong that caused it, you are on your way to becoming a fountain of plant knowledge as well. Do not get discouraged, like I mentioned in my last article, I have even managed to kill off all my seedlings (story for another article, another day), every “failure” is really just an opportunity to learn how not to do things. Grab that bag of seeds, or re purchase that plant start and start over!

Christmas Trees: The origin and evolution.
The history of Christmas trees goes back further than the December holiday. Evergreens were used in Ancient Rome and Egypt and there are some stories that say those tres were worshipped as gods. The cutting down of trees continued with the German tradition of candlelit Christmas trees which was brought to America in the 1800s. The tradition as we now know it began in the 26th century when Christians brought decorated trees into their homes during the holiday season, not to worship but as a winter decoration for the celebration on December 25.
