There’s just something about wet knees and soaked toes that gets those internal juices flowing…

Is there anything that screams Spring more than that first visit to the garden with your boots being sucked half off your feet by the mud and that first kneel in the damp familiarity of your very own special “patch?”

Whether you are a 100% committed organic farmer, a weekend casual gardener, a certified master gardener, novice, pro or a “not yet started” gardener, it is our hope here at the rural independent that you will find us a credible and useful resource for your gardening wants and needs.

We have an extensive gardening forum which provides a visiting place for tips and advice from you, the experts on all topics related to gardening . Heck we might even generate some bragging and tall-tale conversations regarding those mammoth, fifty pound cucumbers and snap beans that reach to the heavens.

Please contact us with any ideas and suggestions to make this site more useful to you – for it is for you that this is written.

Please visit our other garden pages for gobs of information on seeds, composting, compost tea making instructions, deer proofing, and gardening advice aplenty. Why, we even have an excellent page on moon gardening!

Welcome rural independents of the world. Now let’s get gardening!
