With the beautiful weather we have been getting the last couple weeks I have been busy out in the yard. I have trimmed up the vines that enclose the patio, trimmed the trees and cleaned the flower bed. I am also in the midst of cleaning out the kids HUGE sandbox to turn it into a vegetable garden. It is a hand made box that is 4 feet by 4 feet. It will be great!

Review:

This is a great book for anyone looking to garden in small spaces or even for the beginner gardener like myself. It breaks down so much I didn't know or even thought of. Some of the things I have learned are when to plant certain veggies, flowers, fruits, how far apart to plant them, if they need a small pot or big, how to make a homemade trellis, which grows best in shady or sunny spots, which to grow for what season. This book is a huge resource for any gardener. Learn about planting an herb garden and also a huge section on Plant know-how which includes common pests and disease. I have learned so much with this book and I am so excited to have my own garden this summer! I highly recommend this book to everyone! The book is laid out nicely that it isn't crowed or too busy with beautiful pictures of plants etc.

I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Yesterday it was nice and sunny here, not too hot also. We or should I say I decided it was time to get some yard work completed. I had the kids helping with cleaning the patio, pulling weeds while I cleaned up garbage that was left in the yard from work in our duplex apartment,and cut some of the back yard grass.

My helpers in the garden getting it ready for our veggie plants that we picked up yesterday. We have a variety of tomatoes- Tiny Tim's, Roma Plum, Better Boy and Supersonic along with cauliflower, cucumbers, and celery. Yes I did get carried away for our small yard but I will be bringing some Tiny Tim's to work for the ladies I support who want balcony tomatoes.

My kids love growing tomatoes every year, it has sort of became a tradition over the last few summers. This year we decided to see if we can grow the other veggies in a big planter box on our patio. P has also asked to go back to the garden store and buy some flowers for us to plant. We may just make a trip there today.
