There is nothing more satisfying than enjoying freshly picked, sun warmed strawberries, or tomatoes that are bursting with earthy, wonderful flavor!
The best part of gardening is that there is something for everyone. Whether you live in a tiny, one bedroom apartment,or have a whole yard of dirt just waiting to be sown, there is a special gardening niche just for you! With a little time and patience, you will soon develop your very own green thumb!
My Grandmother planted huge vegetable and flower gardens every year for the majority of her life. I grew up enjoying homemade tomato sauce, fresh cucumber pickles, and the freshest asparagus you have ever tasted. After my parents were married, my Dad developed an interest in gardening, and soon our backyard had a couple of raised, container bedswhere he planted a variety of fruits and vegetables. I still remember picking fresh, juicy raspberries straight from the bush and popping them straight in my mouth.
I loved helping my Dad in the garden. The past couple of years, I have taken over all of the planting and harvesting. Currently, we have a small herb garden, and six raised beds. Through trial and error, I’ve had great success growing summer squash, strawberries, and green beans.
Gardening can be as simple as a potted herb plant on a windowsill, or acres of tomato and bean plants. Don’t let the fear of failure stop your from beginning your gardening journey today!
