Spring is here ..Time to plan your garden!

I have been going through the seed catalogs and am ready to plan our garden.  I am tired of having to go to the store during winter to pay for not fresh tasting produce! Trying to get hints and help, I came across this site Click Here  (this will take you to a new window....


I have a seed catalog from Botanical Interests that I will be ordering seeds from  www.botanicalinterests,com. There is an interesting beet the Chioggia that has great visual interest and maybe it will help me enjoy vegetables.

Yes....I am not a fan of vegetables. I am just a carnivore......but I I have to forge forward plant the vegetables and learn to enjoy them.  Life is more than french fries...

Why are tomatoes so hard? Some years that grow like crazy, but some not....weather (sun and moisture) are big factors. Click here or the photo to get hints on to get tomato hints and success! Oh, a tomato mozzerella sandwich sounds good now...


Planting a garden. Great! But we must address pollination. What? When you see the word pollen, you think of allergies. 

But honeybees do the magic in your garden (and your flowers!) 


We have a hive and want to expand it to two this year. You cannot beat fresh local honey. It is best to read upon this, because if you have the space it is a great idea. Beeswax, honey (a great gift for family and friends) and best yet, pollination for your garden!!!
 Here are a few sites that can help you....
