Are you planning a garden this season? We've just begun getting our yard ready for Spring and have planned a vegetable garden. Last year we had some luck with our tomatoes, carrots, cukes, peppers and herbs but we're novices. This year we're moving the garden to a new location and plan to expand. Fingers crossed that we'll have a bountiful harvest.
Do you plant a garden? It's such a fun learning project for kids...and a great wey to get them to eat their veggies! Here's a post I wrote on composting if you are interested. We found composting to be a simple, easy way to add rich nutrients to the soil and great flavor to our tomatoes.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a beautiful day!
i AM planning a garden this year! But this year it's gonna be bigger and better! Last year was my very first one EVER and I was amazed that things actually grew! AND grew so well that we ate the stuff! AND didn't get sick! lol.
I love to plant gardens. I love flower gardens and vegtable gardens. The only problem is that the land I live on doesn't like them much. I have tried EVERYTHING and they still don't grow in this ground. I am now planting in pots and buckets. My plants so ok in those. I still try every year though!
I hope you have a great year with your garden!!
We plant a garden every year. We always plant tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, squash, zucchini, peppers, bell peppers, corn, green beans, pumpkins, watermelon and cantaloupe. I can't wait. This year we are going to plant potatoes too.
I just love that first quote!! Never though of it from the plant's point of view!
I don't have a garden now, but used to help my Mom when I was little. It is very rewarding to grown you own!
love the one about gardening and senses so true the sense of smell, touch, sight and taste are all working in gardening weather
The last two years we had a garden. The first year it was wonderful! Last year was terrible. I don't think anything came up:(
Sorry I haven't been around. I kind of lost my blogging mojo.
