Gardening Season is in full swing! We’ve been working on cleaning out our raised beds, putting in new compost and getting them ready to plant! After a cold spell last week, we’re hoping to get our seeds and plants in this week!
If you’re new to gardening and think you’re too late to start a garden this year – you’re not! There is still plenty of time for you to plant, grow and enjoy the harvest from your garden this year! It’s so rewarding to be able to harvest delicious food right from your own yard!
To help you get started gardening and composting, I’ve pulled together some great information about beginning gardening and composting just for you!
Getting Started with Gardening
Gardening doesn’t have to be rocket science, my advice is just to jump in and try it out! You can even start just a small container garden with a few herbs and maybe a tomato or pepper plant to get a feel for it. Whatever you decide to do, I’m sure you’ll enjoy growing your own food at home!
