I love to Garden as well.
We have not really had our winter yet (missouri)
so planting right now is out of the question.
I love flowers as well as things to eat.
The work is good!

This morning I was thinking about sowing some seeds out doors. But the weather has been very unpredictable. We still have butterfly flying around . Lettuce, celantro and radishes grows easily in our area and likes cool weather but we are have had a drought here in central Texas and are praying for rain (and more importantly God's reigh in lives over our area)
(Jerry, Do you have some extra rain in Washington State that can be directed our way? )
It's so exciting that God came speak to us in so many ways... even while gardening or pulling out weeds! God's Grace

I love to garden! I haven't had a garden since I moved from NC, but I'll have one up and running as soon as we find a home!
My specialty is tomatoes and peppers. I tried other things and they didn't seem to do very well. My cucumbers did good, but I kept eating them right there in the garden!
My secret: compost! Tomatoes love acidity and every day I would put my used coffee grounds on the soil around the plants. I had the best tasting and biggest tomatoes without chemicals.
I also used the coffee grounds on my peppers and they did good. I like the banana peppers and different bvarieties of bell peppers. We grew squash and we had a large bumper crop (the squash that's got a thick yellowish hard skin and is orange inside) It tastes similar to sweet potato and we ate it like sweet potatoes.
We kept a compost pile going at all times. We put in grass clippings, leaves, kitchen peelings and trimmings (no bones or meat- mostly just peels) coffee grounds, stuff swept up from the floor (dirt, lint, dog hair etc) hair clippings from cutting my husband's hair, lint from the dryer, eggshells. It made the best free natural/organic fertilizer! I saw on TV on a children's program and they did a documentary-type show and the people had planted a large city garden on what was once an empty junk lot. One of the adult overseers of the project was talking and he had made a large compost pile. He said,"What we take from the earth, we should put back. If you eat an apple, put back the core and skin to be used again. If you eat a banana, return the skin to the earth." That always stuck with me.
God gives us the earth and if we only take what we need and return the unused portion, He can make it new again!
