Got gardening questions for Dee Dee Bowman, master gardener?  

I live in a mediterranean climate and have a home garden.  So what can i plant this spring and expect to have ready by this summer?

I don't have any outdoor space.  Are there any vegetables or herbs you can successfully grow indoors?

What are the best sources for high quality seeds and plants?

For example I've had 'heirloom tomatoes' at a couple of restaurants here in San Francisco that were incredible.  They were head and shoulders better than any others I've had, home grown or not.  Do many other vegatables also have much better tasting varieties/breeds/strains (whatever you should call them)?  Are the better tasting types typically a lot more difficult to raise?

What techniques, etc. do you recommend for keeping bugs and snails from getting to your vegetables before you do?

Do you know of any tricks or methods for getting rid of bermuda grass?

Do you have any tips for growing plants from seed?

What would your recommend for a novice gardener's vegetable garden?

How do you keep your soil in healthy condition?  Do you recommend using fertilizer or compost?

Where can you get some trustworthy organic seeds that you can't find at an organic market? 

What are some of your favorite edible flowers for cooking and landscaping?
