I'm trying to grow my first garden. Keep in mind, I'm from Manhattan; if you can't grow it in a pot, you're out of luck.

So, I am trying to grow a variety of tomatoes, red cabbage, collards, zuke and cucumbers. In pots, I have habaneros and cilantro.

Anyone have tips for a garden-growing newbie

I get great veggies because I have a ready supply of horse manure!

Biggest best tasting tomatos you will ever have with a little horse manure! If you know any place with horses, they will probably just give it to you. The key is to use the dry stuff and it will flake apart as you rub it in your hands & mix it with your dirt.
