Gardening

Three reasons why you should leave those weeds in your lawn or garden alone... at least for now.

It's the perfect time of year in New Jersey to start planting those early vegetables.

I'll be perfectly honest my thumbs are not green lol I have very little talent at gardening...I leave that to April and let her do our backyard garden. Our home garden is April's project and she is totally into it and is a great hobby and she's had great success now over the years.

I know a lot of people have grown potatoes before, but personally I have not known anyone who actually grew their own potatoes….until now !

It is that time of year, garden season. Many of you may have a home garden and love each spring to start over again and bring those home gardens to life. Whether is flowers or veggies or both, people are passionate about their gardens! Maybe you have a backyard garden or plants in your homes.....spring and summer gardening is a huge hobby and you bring life into your home.

We live in New Jersey: the Garden State. At this point, if you don’t have a garden, you should be ashamed.

It's officially Spring! It's time to drag out the big bag of potting soil, peruse the plant nursery and bring home a wagon full of flowers! If you're as excited about spring-time weather as I am, here's a lovely list of items to help you get into the gardening mood!

Yes they are very cute and yes they are very small and defenseless, but Chip & Dale along with their cousins Alvin, Simon and Theodore are a handful around the house, especially if you have a backyard garden. Or as they like to call it a “food forest”.

It is that time of season and anyone with even one green thumb is thinking “gardening”. Great hobby, productive, safe outdoor activity, healthy etc. My wife April has extended our garden this year and it will be bigger than ever.

I see buds on our trees and flowers poking though the earth and I'm soooo excited!!! Spring is here and when the time is right, (usually anytime after Mother’s Day) you can start planting those flowers! I’ve been told that I’m a flower whisperer so I want to share my tricks for bigger buds with you!
