My garden

     As I have said before I love my garden, just don't have enough time in it. It brings me peace and tranquility. I love to watch everything grow from seeds to later harvest and eat. I have wanted a garden for years, since I bought my first house almost 15 years ago. Unfortunately, the house flooded every summer so there was no possible way to have a garden. So finally, years later, I am able to have a wonderful garden (built by my wonderful man). I have planted so many things over the past few years, I wouldn't know where to start. I will say that my most favorite thing to plant is tomatoes! I LOVE TOMATOES!!! My hubby loves peppers, any kind. So between the two of us, there are a lot of both. We also have some radish, carrots,  various greens, broccoli, spices, grasses, and oh so many other things. One of the best things about having my garden is the health benefits that come with having fresh veggies in the house. There is nothing better than biting into a tomato fresh off the plant. Oh my! In fact, funny story, my hubby didn't even like cucumbers until we grew our own and he tasted it fresh off the vine. Now, he not only eats them, but loves them too. I wish I could grow more but I seem to be having a worm problem. Oh well, I am a novice at this, but I enjoy it so much that I will take whatever learning comes my way. Little by little, I will be a pro. Hehe. In the meantime I am enjoying whatever I can grow and eat fresh. Another benefit, that just so happened along the way, is that my kids even love to watch everything grow. I am bringing the nature out of them little by little. My youngest loves everything to do with nature so I know he loves it the most. The other two well....they like it, but not crazy like me! Nature is so awesome, you just never know what you are going to get when you harvest. I love that nothing is perfect as you see in stores.  Nothing in my garden is altered to look pretty. It comes the way it grows and I love that. Makes you step back and realize that nothing in life is perfect. :D Have a healthy day!
