Whenever the weather turns a little warm, I start to think about gardening. I am not an experienced gardener by any means. I have 2 years of experience under my belt. Two summers ago, I started experimenting with Square Foot Gardening. I had one 4x4 raised bed. Being my first try, I started small. It wasn't extremely successful, but it helped me get my feet wet. Last summer we dug 4 4x4 plots. I had tomatoes and cucumbers galore. I also planted lettuce, onions, herbs, sweet peas, beans, and beautiful soft green zinnias. I loved taking my basket out in the evening and gathering what I needed to fix supper or make a fresh salad. There is something special about growing your own food.
I am already thinking of what I would like to do differently. How I want to steak my tomatoes and what kind of cutting flowers I want.
In preparation for gardening, I have been looking at seed catalogs, gardening magazines, Pinterest, old issues of BH&G. One day last summer, while doing a search for kitchen gardens, I came across this beautiful garden. This would be my dream garden. I love everything about it.
