my garden2


there is something really peaceful about gardening...

I think it is because I haven't had to pull one single weed yet-

Thanks Marne for suggesting square foot gardening- oh my gosh- I will never garden another way again. This method of gardening best fits my personality. Structured yet low maintenance, simple yet very rewarding, different yet tasty...lol- this is making me laugh....so what kind of garden method are you?? Maybe I should make up one of those online personality quizzes and call it "The Garden In You" Personality Test.

I think I was paid a quarter for every row I weeded growing up as a kid...but even though I got paid I still didn't have the choice if I wanted to weed or not...oh how I hated to weed as a kid- so thanks Mom for always teaching me those annoying yet essential life principles--

I love my little garden. It is simple and aesthetic. I enjoy my nightly ritual-- watering each plant and seeing how much it has grown...I hear it is good to talk to your plants...I will admit our conversations aren't the best. I did however congratulate the cucumber plant for wrapping himself finally around his cage. Such a good little cucumber you are...

I am definitely doing square foot gardening next year...oh the weeds I have pulled it just ridiculous!! I came home from our week long reunion and I couldn't even see my plants in the garden - just weeds! I am converted - I like the idea of low maintenance - no weeds!!!

I am so impressed! Your garden looks great! I am jealous! I've heard just recently about square foot gardening and plan on doing that for next years garden! Can I come down and have some fresh grown veggies with you, please? :)

I'm so glad you like gardening this way April! I'm with you...I will never go back to 'traditional' gardening again! SFG is so much more low maintainance and enjoyable. Your garden looks GREAT!
