Welcome to Day 3 of my favorite giveaways, where I’m giving away all the gardening stuff I love best. Today I’m giving something I guarantee will make your garden grow better. I know you just rolled your eyes. Or scoffed. Or thought, “She’s nuts.” You may be right on that last one, but hear me out on this giveaway. Think …
Don’t forget this is the week of all my favorite giveaways. Click here to for the soil knife giveaway and here for the Perfect Garden Hose. …………………………………………………….. I garden in cycles. Every couple years, I create a new garden area (i.e. last year I redid the back yard), which is a ton of work, and then the next year I …
I’ve written about the prize for the second day of giveaways this week so many times on the blog, regular readers are probably sick of hearing about it.

I started more things from seed this year than I ever have and I’m so happy I did. More than just the satisfaction of growing from seeds and the fact that I’ll have a well-stocked garden for pennies, it kept me busy during those hardest months for gardeners. It was lovely to tend to something green. In fact, I’m …
Next week I’ll touch base on the progress on all the seeds I’ve been starting this year, but thanks to this new mini greenhouse, I’ll be able to get most of the plants out of the back room this weekend.
