Need help with your garden?

by Bobbi Chukran

Mornin’ earthly gardeners,

Scanning the news items online, I ran across this cool story about a company in Seattle, WA that helps people put in small urban gardens. There are many such companies around the country that will come to your house, talk to you about what you want and help you get a small garden started.

Here’s a link to the story in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

I love the fact that they are putting some of these gardens in the FRONT yard! It’s time to reclaim all those boring, water-guzzling lawns and turn them into flowers and veggies! Nobody really needs a lawn; we don’t have a lawn, and we do just fine!

Spring is just around the corner!

dig it!
