g.r.o.w.

Inspired by my recent visit to the "Garden School", my recent bedside reading material (see sidebar),and the bugs ongoing love of digging in the dirt, we bought some peat pots and seeds and got ready to garden. Beans, peas, pumpkins,and watermelon started by the big bug. Tomatoes for me.

They took off quickly. Now we have to build these.

Add carrots, basil, sunflowers, parsley... And convince spring to arrive!

How does your garden grow?

Hey darlin'! Went to a garden club a couple of weeks ago and learned something that you should know. Watermelons, pumpkins, squash, etc. should not be planted next to one another as they can cross-polinate. It will affect how the fruit grows. I had no idea! But thought I'd pass it along since you don't want watery pumpkin or stringy watermelon. Couple more weeks and I can get my seeds started. Can't wait!!!

I love your garden pics... makes me want to sow some seeds! Afraid I can only grow herbs, not veggies... and my thyme always dies. Cheers, gracia
