Season of Planting

Loving this warm, sunny Spring weather! I am so excited to work on my garden plots! This year I made the resolution to grow my own food. Last year I was successful in leafy greens and corn! 

This year I am expanding to herbs, tomatoes, squash, cucumber, melons, and more! I cannot wait to start harvesting my crops.

One of the keys of a successful garden is to have great seeds. My local go-to place is Sal's O Timey Feed, they have some of the best seeds in town. I bought kale, collards, and many other leafy greens from them! 

Sometimes it's hard to get all the seeds you need when your on a budget. If you are looking for new and interesting seeds, for free. A great place to check out is a Seed Swap. These events are great places where local gardeners and growers bring their seeds and exchange with each other. It's a wonderful opportunity to learn from experts who are more than happy to share their deep knowledge with you. 

Growing your own food is a simple and easy way to improve and enhance your life. You can curate it based on your tastes, whether that's your love of herbs, tomatoes, or leafy greens it's all about you! 

XOXO,
