Getting those seeds started
We're not ready to start most of our seeds just yet but we will be in the coming weeks. We'll definitely need to buy a lot more seeds as well since we have only a few special items at the moment.Gayle wrote a great article about starting seeds which included the...
Growing tomatoes in containers
I've subscribed to the feeds of another gardening website called You Grow Girl which has some great information. It's written by a woman living in Canada who has a true urban garden on her rooftop. She posted a new article about selecting the right tomatoes for your...
In the Garden on NOH

The garden that came with the house 🙂
Behind the barn on our property is a garden. Many people don't even realize it's there because you don't see it at all and even when you are in the barn, it's so dark you may not even notice the door in the back. Until last weekend, we couldn't even see out the...
