Itching Green Thumb
I can not believe it’s been over a year since we moved to this house and it’s taken me that long to finally start to garden again. If you know me even a little you are probably aware that I absolutely love to garden. So it’s pretty crazy that up until a few weeks ago the only plants I owned were a few in pots by the front steps, and a handful indoor ones.
Finally I couldn’t take it anymore and in July, despite the ridiculous summer heat, I grabbed a shovel and went to work on a shady spot in one of the back corners of our back yard. After much sweat, blisters, and inspiring hard work from my 5-year-old I finally have a little something I can officially call a garden again! Though it’s pretty bare still I can not tell you how much excitement it brings me to be able to go into my backyard to water my little garden.
This time I am also making an active attempt to harvest seeds from my own flowers, and veggies and fruits I have bought locally. I have no idea how good seeds harvested by yours truly will grow in the spring, but I won’t know until I try will I?
