I hope they all do well so I have yummy stuff to eat this summer!

What a great thread! FI & I bought our house last fall & finally now are getting to the outside projects since it is warming up a bit. Yesterday the family threw us a "garden" wedding shower which was great & I got tons of bulbs, plants, etc...so I will be looking here now for all kinds of information : )

Oh my, I started reading Tammy’s blog and it seems like there is so much to know! My FI and I bought a house this past March and it is covered with flowers, bushes, trees, and plants of all kinds. It was an older couple that lived there before us and they loved to garden. Now I have some beautiful flowers blooming but I don’t know the first thing about gardening! I always wanted to grow my own produce and have a garden but I don’t know the first thing about it.

 

So how did you learn how to garden or are you just good at it? Do you have any websites or books that I could get to help me get started? Or maybe some tips to point me in the right direction?
