Hey Lauren, I also do gardening, will post more about it latter. (just starting wity steemit). I have big garden, and biggest part of it is potatoes. Theyre quiet easy to grow. Pumpkins are fun aswell ;) also, they make awesome pumpkin soup with chilli. Thats other thing, chilli pepers. Not sure whats the wether like in michigan. I just grow them on window. And many more. Good luck ;) keep us updated on progress.
