Margaret Atwood may have said it best; “In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”
-A garden spot with adequate sun and space for your flowers and plants of choice.
-Gardening tools that are age appropriate and functional for your family.
-Starter plants (i.e. tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, pumpkins and melons)
-Plant food and fertilizer optional
-Rainbow Garden: plant in colors (tomatoes, carrots, beets, broccoli, greens, lettuce…)
A few tips with tomatoes: use sprouted plants, wait till no more frost in forecast, once at 10 inches tall, use support by a stake or string.
