More and more Americans are planting vegetable gardens this year in order to bring healthy, nutritious meals to their dinner tables. Not only is gardening a great way to exercise, it is also a "sport" that benefits the budget. Spending some bucks in the spring can return a lot of savings on the food bills during the summer...and winter if you decide to freeze or can the harvested goodies.
Kids and gardening go hand in hand. Kids can be a part of the whole process from planting seeds to picking corn and tomatoes. Even adults never tire of the wonder of watching a seed grow into food. It is a perfect way to spend time with children. Many philosophic discussions or problem-solving can be done while planting, pulling weeds, or harvesting.
If you are a new or experienced gardener, please check out my blog, The Garden for Eatin' at www.thegardenforeatin.blogspot.com My husband and I owned and operated a garden center and greenhouses for almost twenty years. We have gardened almost all our married lives. We want to help you raise a successful food-producing garden. Perhaps you will get hooked on gardening and make it a hobby/recreation that you enjoy.
The spring weather brings so much hope to gardeners. They always know that this year will be better than last year. Those people who work the soil and labor at producing the best or the first tomato or pepper or the biggest pumpkin are always optimistic. Gardeners are planners and dreamers. You gotta love 'em. Follow along with us on our gardening journey this summer and pick up some practical advice and information.
My husband's dream was to garden for twelve months of the year. Well, now we can. He has established a small garden plot in Florida for winter gardening. This is truly a learning experience as we learn about the soil, climate, and plants that will make a great garden. Discover with us or send us some tips on Southern gardening. Thanks, ya'all.
