quote of the day

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful.  -Abram L. Urban

My chives in a raised bed.

My first broccoli floret forming! (also in a raised bed)

My front flower bed where I planted my tomatoes, peppers, and herbs this year. I planted marigolds to keep the bad, plant eating bugs away.

Our Holistic Moms meeting Monday night was about organic gardening in small spaces. It was great! We had some new and very diverse people there and I really learned a lot. I have a large garden but I have found that I like gardening in smaller spaces better. They are easier to maintain, more convenient, beautiful, and anyone can do it. This summer I will be able to step off my front porch and pick everything to make homemade spaghetti sauce or salsa, and that is so satisfying to me : )
