Gardening has become a HUGE part of my life, so much so that I start planning it all out during the cold blustery months of winter. I think it helps thaw my soul knowing that in a few short months I will be out in the garden, dirt on my hands planting the plants that will help feed my family during the summer months and beyond.
Life began in a garden when God created the Earth so that certainly must count for something.
Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

During hard times like World War II, Americans were encouraged to plant gardens to help the war effort.
Gardens have been a constant throughout human history and while they certainly do serve the primary purpose of providing food they do so much more.
It has been said that gardening is good for the soul, can be a type of therapy, and it can teach young children a myriad of life lessons. It is my humble opinion that everyone should have one and I love seeing that they are becoming more and more popular again as the fad of quick and easy unhealthy processed foods are being discovered as the source of many current health problems.
Here are some images from my garden this year so far, I am so pleased to have been able to expand it even more this year!

Partner, the blog pictures laid out look good. However, your vegetables look better. I am looking forward to eventually having my own yard so you can teach me to garden!
