How can you flavor steamed vegetables?

I got a new food steamer mostly for vegetables…I made some the other day and they were pretty good but needed some extra flavor. I made some more today and before I turned the steamer on, I sprinkled them with garlic powder and chili powder, and that added some good flavor to them.

Is there anything else that I could try? Or any ideas for sauces/toppings for the vegetables? I mostly eat broccoli, carrots, peppers, peapods, artichokes, brussel sprouts and lima beans.

Vegetable Gardening Question?

I am setting up a patch of land in my backyard for gardening. Right now I am going to be planting sunflowers,sweet corn, cucumber, radishes and green onions.

On the back of a few of the seed packets it says something about planting the seeds on a hill.

Is that I think it means? Like you make a row and a little hill all the way down the row?
Thanks all! Wow, I am so sun burnt and sore from tilling the ground. I will make sure to make little hills though!!

does anyone have any original good organic vegetable garden tips for my home gardening class?

Good vegetable gardening website for beginners?

I’m in desperate need of a good website with lots of information, more specifically for Ontario, Canada. I went to the library to get some books but they wouldn’t let me take any out because I don’t live in town. I don’t want to spend money on books, and I can’t seem to find any good websites.

How the hell am I supposed to learn about gardening?
