Wade and I have dabbled a little with tomato plants in the past, even a pepper plant here and there. But this year, we have decided to plant a full garden. I am super excited about it and I know that we'll both be dieting and eating lots of salads this summer, so I can't wait to have our first salad from our own garden! I grew up with a garden, my mom and stepdad made it look so easy. But, if you're like me and the thought of it is overwhelming and you realize that you don't know how to grow a garden, no fears! I have some resources for all of us green - green thumbs.

I was just asking my brother about planting a garden and have been reading some online. This will be my first time having a garden (if I can get it done in time!) So I thought, speaking of green, I'll check out Jessica's blog and see what she's been up to... and voila! Thanks for all the tips! I hope yours goes well and I hope I find the time to get mine started. I was thinking about doing a raised bed garden. You?
Haley,
We were going to do a raised bed, but decided to do a container gardent his year and see how it goes.
Good Luck with yours Hailey!
