It’s that time of year again! The time of year when people with more organization and ambition than I have start filling their garden beds with plants for the upcoming growing season. Every year I have really good intentions but watch as planting time escapes me and I vow to do better next year. Brian and I are planning to focus on our house itself and see what pops up in the gardens from the previous owners before we plant anything of our own. That said, I still have some plans involving herbs and tomatoes.
There is no shortage of garden ideas and advice out there:
