How Does Your Garden Grow?

by on ‎06-10-2014 03:25 PM

One of my favorite hobbies is gardening… My favorite part of gardening is planting all of the gorgeous flowers and fun plants... I have to literally stop myself from over planting.  The only thing that is slowing me down is all the aches and pains from carrying the dirt!  I obviously have a helper so I have to situate my pots and cubes so that Misty can manage to navigate the back yard..Lol…


 


I spend hours building my pots, garden boxes and under planting my lime and rose trees... I always try to remember that I need to have a focal point, filler and trailing plants with lots of good soil and Rootblast...



 


My garden box is filled with my Cottage Farms heirloom tomatoes and marigolds .. I added the egg shells and Rootblast so now all I need is some hot summer night...

I love these garden cubes.. they make gardening in small spaces easy, (M44001) they even come with great quality dirt, easy to follow directions and no digging but more planting.. !  It’s a win-win.




 



I planted strawberries, sweet mint, lettuce, red potatoes, pumpkins, and yellow squash.  I hope the rabbits are not reading my blog..lol {#emotions_dlg.biggrin} Thankfully I ran out of dirt so I stopped here but would love to know about your garden...I can already taste those fresh tomatoes and bacon on toast.
