so this year i have decided to start a small garden. there’s a little plot of land waiting for me to start planting but the weather is still so cold here. it even snowed yesterday. but i did get a head start and planted some things in planters that way they are ready when the warm weather comes. it has been a loooong time since i’ve really tried planting any kind of thing other than your basic flower so i am hoping and praying that this works out!

so far i’ve decided on planting organic broccoli, green beans, peppers, strawberries, watermelon, and a few flowers like sunflowers & lavender. i was going to plant carrots but i’m not quite sure how that’s gonna work out. i started some of them indoors and now i just wait until they sprout, the sun decides to come out, and the weather is warm. i’m thinking about making something like this for the plot to keep things organized. i’m excited to start this and also hope to share it with leland as he gets older. since i can’t live on a farm, i might as well start a garden, right? ;)

anywho, do you garden? do you have any tips or suggestions? if so, i’d love to know them! i’m a youngin and still unsure about how a lot of this gardening stuff works. i’m just hoping i have a green thumb and they don’t all die. haha! i’ll be happy if at least one thing blooms. :) hope you are having a beautiful week! enjoy your thursday…

love,
arielle
