When I was working, I killed everything I tried to grow outside because it does need "tending" here with the heat and all. I worked long hours and came home exhausted so the plants weren't on the top of my list...needless to say, they didn't get watered very often and on the really hot days, I wasn't here to move them into the shade for a couple of hours when it was above 100 degrees. With starting my own business and working from home now, I will have more time to take care of some gardening as well as plants and flowers.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764075358798270658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455158309507185470.post-78377943008142695422012-01-31T11:59:03.028-05:002012-01-31T11:59:03.028-05:00Thank you Sherry! Oh I bet that was a great garden...Thank you Sherry! Oh I bet that was a great garden. The growing season in the U.P. is shorter but boy do they have some good dirt. Have you thought of a container garden? Then you just add top soil. Maybe a project for Chey. lolShannon @VillageGirlBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068511458287761737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455158309507185470.post-25041382245537851522012-01-31T11:14:08.415-05:002012-01-31T11:14:08.415-05:00(decided to condense my comments, lol)
I soooo ag...(decided to condense my comments, lol)<br /><br />I soooo agree with this, Shannon. Cheyenne LOVES veggies. She would eat broccoli or salad for all 3 meals if I let her. She chooses salad almost every day for lunch at school. If they are out of salad, I have to hear about it when she gets home! She even wants peppers and fresh mushrooms on her pizza when we order one. I've seen so many kids who refuse to eat their veggies and parents who allow this! A couple of these kids are in my own family and shall remain nameless, lol. It's sad really. Nutritionally, they are lacking so many vitamins, one can't help but wonder what the long term health implications will be. <br />If there is one thing Cheyenne misses about Michigan it is eating fresh fruits and veggies from her grandparents garden. She was raised on them! My parent's garden was 100% organic. My mom even went so far as to have a certain kind of wood placed as a border and used a mixed soil so there was no possibility of chemicals leaching into her food. I swear, those were the best eating fruits and vegetables I've ever tasted.<br />I don't have the green thumb required to grow anything in this NC red clay or I would have a garden. :-(<br />Keep up the good work with those boys....tell them I have a very beautiful young lady living with me who would scrap with them for those pepper snacks, lol!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764075358798270658noreply@blogger.com
