"To love anything good, at any cost, is a bargain."  Wendell Berry  


 

"I've had the thyme of my life"!             "Dill with it"!                               "You had me at aloe."

 

Memories are grown in a garden, I won’t tell you all mine, but I’m sure they are similiar to yours. They have absolutely been my projection into my love of gardening. I do hope to pass on this passion to the generations coming up!

As we have gotten older; family has grown and flown, our gardening has changed as well. We now utilize mostly raised beds. And where we used to have exclusively vegetable gardening, I now love to incorporate flowers among our vegetables. I make sure to plant what I know we will eat, what I know I can grow (mostly) and what I want to can, freeze or share!

Our garden is a mixture of vegetables, herbs and flowers. I grow mostly medicinal herbs and have been learning how to use these effectively.

As this can be an expensive endeavor, I have learned to propagate plants and save seeds. It has become another skill and chore to add to the list at the end of the season, but what a harvest you can have and share!!
