The Adventure of Growing A Garden!

Ah, you’ve thought about, read about, maybe even dreamed about growing a garden. Now you are ready to take the plunge and ‘just do it. However, you are not quite sure where to start? Well, you’re in luck, because that’s what this blog is all about. This blog is here to provide you with all the information you could possibly need to experience the adventure and rewards of growing a garden of your very own.

It is possible to have a healthy garden with even ten to twelve hours of sunlight, but the type of plants must be adaptable. While soil can always be improved, a site with good soil is a plus. Avoid areas that have rocky soil, steep slopes, or areas where water stands.

First remove the rocks, debris, and any grass and weeds then dig the spot up about one foot deep. Level up the dirt and add compost or minerals if the needed.
