SEED HAUL : I Bought 10 000 Seeds for 2021

 

Last month, I took inventory of my all my seeds and came to the conclusion that I had plenty!  Then, a couple days later, I ordered 10 000 seeds.  Anyone else?!

  I have been busy preserving an abundance of fresh vegetables from the garden but the cold fall weather is catching up.   My backyard garden is about dead at this point but it’s not the case for my raised garden beds, as you will see in this video. The garden is full of surprises, like this giant bean that is almost as long as my arm!! WATCH MY YOUTUBE VIDEO THANKS FOR WATCHING Mel :-)

5 Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Starting a Garden

Image
I know many of you are thinking about starting a garden this year.  That was me last year!  I learned a lot during my first year gardening, but there are some things that I wish I knew before I started my first garden.  Not that those things would have discouraged me from gardening, but I certainly would have been more prepared.
