Sowing Memories

As Greg and I sat in Church on listening to the speakers talk on provident living it got us excited and motivated to start our own garden and become more self reliant. So instead of coming home and taking naps like we usually do we decided to come home and plan out where our garden was going to be. We made lunch and set out a blanket in our backyard and talked with the boys about what we should plant in our garden. We came up with a whole list of ideas and then narrowed it down to 4 as a starter garden. The next day we broke ground! It's really exciting to see it begin and to see where our garden is going to be!



To follow our fun adventures in gardening, as we grow our very own green thumbs, check out our gardening blog where we will post updates, tips, tricks, and everything we learn about gardening; the good, the bad, and the dirty!

You go girl!!! I wish I had a place for a garden!! Am I crazy or is it pretty late in the year to start a garden?

Good luck!!

There are some veggies you can plant this late, like carrots. But mainly we're just digging it up so that we don't have to dig up frozen ground in the spring. The ground is a lot softer now because it's warmer. It will also give us time to mix in compost so that when we're ready to plant in the spring the soil will be good to go.
