Winter Vacation
Garden Center Opens
February 13, 2012

I am embarking on an edible journey. All winter long, I have had thoughts of starting my own vegetable garden. Even though it’s only March and everything still seems wintery, there is plenty I can do to start planning my patch. Over the next couple months I’ll fill you in on the progress of my garden.
March was a busy month in my garden! I started a lot of cool weather veggies indoors and I’ve already planted some transplants in my garden beds. I built several 4 x 8 foot raised beds in my backyard that will hold all my herbs and veggies. To give them a great start, I picked up some Better Earth compost from Hoerr Nursery and added it to the soil in my raised beds.
Have you ever heard the saying “In order to live off a garden, you practically have to live in it”? Well I’ve been living in my garden lately, and it’s really starting to pay off!
