Starting a garden can be an exciting endeavor, especially in a new home. It’s essential to plan your planting based on climate zones; for instance, some vegetables thrive in cooler weather, while others require warmth to flourish. In our garden, we've chosen a variety of plants that not only provide delicious harvests but also encourage pollination and biodiversity. Romaine lettuce is a fast-growing crop, ideal for beginners, while peppers, including jalapeños and habaneros, offer a bit of heat for your dishes. Tomatoes, such as cherry and beefsteak varieties, are always a favorite; they require regular watering and support as they grow. When planning your garden, consider companion planting as well, where certain crops can enhance each other’s growth. Additionally, using organic compost and mulch can significantly improve soil health and moisture retention. Remember, patience is key in gardening; as your plants grow, take the time to learn their needs, and don’t hesitate to seek advice from your local gardening community or online forums. Happy gardening!

Adding a Picket Fence to create an English Garden

We have been working so dang hard on our picket fence around the garden. We have always planned on putting our vegetable garden here in this spot. It’s outside of the woods in full sun and I think it’s the perfect place. We both love creating different areas on our property that are not only be

Three small, vibrant green plants, likely herbs, are growing in a rectangular planter filled with dark soil. The image features text overlays "3 things in my garden I'M PROUD OF" and "SWIPE", with two white heart doodles.

Several young green plants with lobed leaves are growing in a long, raised garden bed filled with soil. The image includes text overlays "successfully starting most of my plants from seed" and "you got this".

A close-up shows a branch of a blueberry bush with several small, green, unripe blueberries. The background is blurred green foliage. An overlay reads "our first year to see fruit on our blueberry bush".

3 things in my garden I'm proud of

1. everything, so far, I've started from seed. many varieties of peppers, tomatoes, and herbs. I do have plans to buy some Rosemary, but this is the first year we won't have to purchase plant starts because not enough of my seedlings survived. 2. this is our 3rd year with our blueberry b

Planted spearmint and deadnettle

I got both the spearmint and the dead-nettle from my neighbor for free. They set plants out by the road in grocery bags with a sign saying “free plants” a few times a year. This year they’ve put more out than usual and I’m very happy. I’ve only managed to go actually get the free plants twice. I’ve

🌿 Growing What God Planted: Walking in the Fruits of the Spirit

There’s something so powerful about slowing down and really looking at the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23). These aren’t just “good qualities” to try on when life is easy, this is the evidence of God actively working in us. Love that chooses others even when it’s inconvenient (John 15:12).
