Welcome to Home Gardening!
Home gardening is the next logical step in creating healthy meals for your family. There is a sense of pride in bringing food from seed to table; it's local food in its purest sense. Not to mention, there's no guessing about what is in or on your food - you grew it!
One of the best things about growing food with your kids or grandkids is the precious time you will get to spend with each other. You're teaching them about stewardship, sustainability, and caring for our planet. These garden lessons will last a lifetime.

Fall may be upon us but there's no reason to stop growing fresh food. One of the easiest herbs to grow in a kitchen windowsill are chives. Chives are a versatile herb because unlike bulb-type onions, the flavor is very delicate. This makes them the perfect addition to dishes where you'd like a little zing but still want to keep things on the mild side.

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) or Sweet Melissa is an ancient herb
belonging to the mint family (hence its square stems).
Its praises have
been sung by the Greeks as far back as 2,000 years ago as both a
medicinal herb for feeling melancholy, cold sores, fevers, and headaches. Cosmetically, Lemon balm has been used as a facial steam and as an astringent for oily hair.

Before you buy the jean overalls and have a dump truck of manure
dropped on your driveway, you need to figure out just what it is you’d
like to plant in your first garden.

When I think about planting a fruit tree in my home garden, a lemon tree is the last one that crosses my mind. Sure, I’ve caught the intoxicating scent of the lemon blossoms from next door and my grandma always had one in her garden, yet I never thought about making room for one in my own yard. After all, I didn’t really need one right?
