Gardening: We Are New

My husband has been talking about how badly he wants to build and keep a garden; however, I have always been opposed to it. My main opposition is that I do not like digging in dirt! I get the creeps, and if I see a critter or snake slither by me, I know I will never go outside again. You think I’m kidding? I’m really not!

I know for others it’s a hobby though, my mom is one of those. I am jealous too because she has fresh produce and her flowers are beautiful!

After visiting the Farmer’s Market last year, my husband was even more so pushing me to think about letting him take a part of our backyard and create a garden. I have given in!! I have been lured by the amazing taste of fresh, home grown produce. My husband will be in charge of the garden, and I will be in charge of creating dishes with our home grown produce.

Honestly, I am so excited I can hardly wait! We need tips and tricks though as this is the first time we are gardening.

I would love to hear all of your ideas about the best times to plant, what produce is best, and any other information you think a beginner needs.

Stay tuned for more post on our gardening adventure this spring and summer.
