I believe we’ve been both gardening and blogging, for about 3 years.  Our life is filled with so many various passions, there is more than we are actually able to get to blogging.  I sure try to get it all in though!  But one area that is especially hard to keep you all

It’s that time of year again, when we start sharing with you what we’ve got growing in our gardens!  For me, growing our own gardens is one of the greatest gifts of the season, and I revel in the joy of it!  So I am anxious to chit-chat with you in all of

Finally, I have gotten it together enough, to show you what we’re growing in all of these garden beds we’ve got going.   I’m telling you, I find it extremely challenging to blog about garden updates, because everything changes so fast!   So, this post shares some of the rapid garden progress that can happen in what… (READ MORE......) | 12 Comments

Back on June 11, {O} came running in the house all excited, because Daddy had let her pick the first strawberry from our garden.  It’s was a BEAUTY, don’t you think?  Thank goodness it was a good size berry, because every one of us were so excited, we had to split it 6 ways!
