The growing season is upon us and I am so excited to be growing our own food for the second year in a row. It all started with my husband and I wanting to know where our food came from. Although we often bought organic veggies from the store and locally, we always wondered what type of soil they used, did it have pesticides, and what kind of growing conditions & energy the vegetables were grown in.
After much planning and knowing nothing about gardening, we read some books, made a garden patch in our front yard and planted some seeds.
With alot of care and love, the outcome was amazing and we had food through the fall. Although some of the things we planted did not grow, we we blessed enough to be able to share some of it with family and friends. Here is some of the things we grew and had for lunches and dinners:
Green,Yellow Red Tomatoes Kale
Chard
Broccoli
Radishes
Beans
Strawberries
Carrots
Beets
Green onions
Chamomile and other herbs
Now it's that time again and my amazing husband has made seed boxes from wood and wine corks. They work fabulously and the planting has begun.
We still don't know alot about gardening but every year we learn a little bit more by experience and also by some reading.
So now it's your turn. Whether you think you know nothing about gardening or that you don't have a green thumb, toss those ideas out the window, buy some seeds, plant your favorite veggies, and give them lots of love, regular watering.
You may be surprised to find that you do have a green thumb after all!

Until next time..
