Grow a vegetable garden

I never had a green thumb. Until I decided to try it this summer. I planted a vegetable garden and to be quite honest some made it and others didnt. Well if you want to save money with your groceries and eat healthier give it a try.

The first thing I did was to make a run for the local Home Depot and buy all the essential items. My garden included tomatoes, lettuce, brocolli, peppers, strawberries and parsley. This year we ate 3 tomatoes that grew in a larger pot that I planted. Brocolli and lettuce died since my husband kept refusing to eat the stuff I grew in the garden but since he is a sucker for tomatoes he couldnt say no to the beauties that I had growing in the backyard.

Well as I said before growing a garden is not for everyone I am sure that I made mistakes and next year Ill give it another try and hopefully Ill have wonderful and health veggies and fruits in our table. It will save us money in the long run.

P.S. The peppers are hanging by a thread. The Parsley were a beauty but it died after a long weekend away and nobody to water it. We are still waiting on the Strawberries to grow well berries.

See you next time xoxo
