Do I really have a green thumb?


Gardening. I always thought it was the kind of thing that little old ladies did for fun after they had their morning tea, and went to church. But I guess I was wrong. Gardening is apparently fun for anyone who wants to get outside and do something with their unused plot of land. Since my family lives on a 5 acre farm, and there is an actual spot for a garden (the people who lived there before us made that area) I said, "Why not?" So here I am, just starting to wake up the garden from the hibernating winter weather which is apparently still lingering...(it actually snowed at my house today!) I haven't had a garden since like, 2 years ago, so I'm thinking I may be a little rusty. I wonder what I should plant? When do I start planting!? I'll probably begin planting after the last frost which is usually the last of April...lol. I just put a leaf mulch on top so hopefully most of the weeds will disintegrate, and I won't have to weed as much. Anyways, I am so ready to tackle this new project!

Just make sure you wait to plant tomatoes until May!
