Gardens

Creating and caring for a small garden, whether vegetable, flowers or both, is easy and fun. If you need a little help and like direction, one of the best books to buy is Square Foot Garden. Easy, easy, easy!!! You'll have a garden up and growing in a weekend. If you'd like to just wing it, like me, head to the garden store, buy your favorite plants and flowers and go for it! I have posted photos of my garden I recently planted. I have also included my son's garden box and a picture of his strawberry patch. CLICK HERE to order Square Foot Garden on Amazon.

Every season comes to an end. What starts out as beautifully organized ends up a little wild and crazy. 2020 has been a wonderful growing seasons, yielding delicious memories of moments and food, flowers and herbs.

white zucchini

I plant tomatoes, two varieties, Roma and Beef Steak. I planted only four this year, two of each. A few eggplant and green pepper plants. Most of the garden is reserved for white zucchini, green zucchini and pumpkins. I am just so sad to have to cull the white zucchini plants. This year I did plant the two I culled in Steve's Morning Glory tub (far right).
