I feel like we have enough stress in our lives not to have to add to it. It's garden season and I like to have an easy win. I like to have food that I know I will be able to put on my table.
Here we are in spring. The weather is getting nicer. I am so ready. When we get a couple of really nice days out it seems we get spring fever. We want to move along as soon as we can.
Do you have a green thumb? I like to think I do. Only when it comes to certain items. I love having a vegetable and herb garden every year. Not only is it something that benefits me every year but something that will help when I go to sell my home.
This past weekend I took a trip to Home Depot on Georgia. I wanted to make a plan for my garden. I take this time every year. Now I know the crazy Amarillo weather and heck we can still get another freeze. That didn’t stop half of Amarillo being there doing the same thing I was. Scoping out what they want to include in their garden this year.
Will your kid eat broccoli? Heck no you say. Well yes there are some really picky kids. Maybe you are raising one. Maybe you are at your wits end. You want your child to try new things and even eat a bit healthier. Is this a possibility?
One thing is for sure, if you ever thought about growing your own garden, now is the time. With all of this food shortage and stay at home orders we have lived through this past month; growing our own food is needed.
This is the time of year that if you had a garden this summer you are reaping the rewards. Sometimes you are even lucky enough to have a friend who gives you veggies from his garden.
This past May I planted my garden. I anticipated a lot of my own fresh veggies. I was even excited to find Ghost Peppers to plant. I couldn't wait to try one.
