Eat from your own backyard!

Military Families look to save money in very creative ways. Why not grow your own garden?  With Spring rigt around the corner, garden time is now! There in no better time than now to start your garden planning. Lets explore some helpful hints to get started.

First things first. You will want to make sure you have a designated area in order to grow a garden. You can grow a garden from anywhere! If you have a few flower pots and some soil, you are in business! It doesnt not take alot of space to grow  your own garden. In fact, it can be done on your front porch. Plants need sunlight, water and love.

Next, you will want to plan what you want to grow. Please do not be discouraged, you may have a few plants die on you. It does happen. Look for some easy choices, Tomatos, Brocolli, and maybe green beans. Even if you do not like one of these, just try it. Bless your neighbors with your harvest. For example, tomatos are not a favorite for me. You can bet I will grow them every year still the same.  Make sure to read the care for instructions for your new garden.

Gardening may be more than just a plant and go. Watering and care go a long way. Take a trip with my family as we garden this year. We hope to eat from our Garden this summer! You can too!
