[Steven Johnson]

I am a blind gardener, planting both flower and vegetable plus a few fruit
trees, bushes and the like.

Do you yourself gardin?  If I did; (which I don't) most here would be able
to guess how I would do it.

Warm weather has been here since early February.

IF I am not much mistaken, "the Braille Monitor" has an article or two upon
the subject.

the years I've had about every configuration of garden, traditional, square
foot, container and houseplants.  I've pretty much killed them all off in
short order.   I'm wondering if there is an NFB list specific to gardening
or if not does anyone know of a list elsewhere for blind gardeners?

about things like forgetting to water. *smile*  Still I'm wanting to learn
and I have questions about how to distinguish the plants I'm trying to grow
from the weeds.  I also wonder about nonvisual ways to figure out if there
are problems with bugs, plant diseases or soil problems.

vegetables and herbs.  This year I am only growing in containers, although
if I can get something to grow I might consider plowing up part of my yard
next year.  I live in south east Nebraska, which is zone 5, I think.
