Here are some Bible verses that mention gardening.
I love to garden! I love to help others garden! This blog is about my adventures in gardening...good and bad! "A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust." ~~Gertrude Jekyll~~

Greenhouse Adventures: Seed Starting
I have started growing seed starts in my greenhouse. I am excited for the possibilities of getting more seed starts which is cheaper than buying them at the local nursery.
Small Greenhouse Seed Starting
This year I am trying seed starting a couple of different ways. I am putting them in my small green house in a south facing window for tomatoes. Hoping that this works! I am thinking I need to add a grow light!

April Garden Chores 2017
April is a busy month getting the garden ready for the big growing season. Here is a list of the chores I am completing this month.
- Expand garden area by putting down weed barrier and constructing a new fence.
- Relocate some containers to the new area for better production.
- Build and add new raised beds.
- Plant peas and beans in raised beds.
- Keep up with seed starts...thin out and transplant into bigger pots.
- Start some warm weather vegetable starts int he greenhouse.
- Plant some herbs in the greenhouse.
- Clean up strawberry pallet area. Add replacement plants to the area.
- Move the old raised bed dirt to the new raised beds I construct.
Bean Teepee
I constructed a bean teepee and then it added in the small raised bed. I am going to plant beans this weekend!
Greenhouse Growing Begins
I am so excited that I got my new to me green house constructed with little to no issues. It is now being used and I already have seed started and some herbs growing in it!
Container Garden Updates 2017
I have been working on the new expanded garden area. I have relocated some o f my containers to make the area more productive. Bonus...It looks more colorful, too!
Strawberry Pallet Update April 2017
Some of my strawberry plants did not make it this winter, so I purchased some replacements. I cleaned up the pallet area and planted them on Saturday.
Let the growing begin!
Garden Area Enlargement and Fence Construction
This last week I spent several hours expanding my garden area and constructing a new fence. It was very affordable since the plastic lattice was already at my house...left by someone else a few years ago. I am so excited for my new area. I am now in the process of amending my raised beds and planted and building some new raised beds. I have 2 already constructed from found items in my yard! I love that I am being frugal and getting more growing space in the garden!!! Here are a couple of pictures of the fence and new raised beds.
