Well we finally got moved from that rat infested place. We didn't even keep our sofa and loveseat for fear we would bring along a hitchhiker but took them to the dumping station. Our house here has a large backyard. There is a good size raised bed in the back (12x12 approximately) but it is...

Two of my sons (15 and 12 years old) are homeschooled. In the spirit of teaching my children real-life skills I've decided to let them have a 4 X 8 raised bed to try their hand at square foot gardening. I want them to connect our meals, finances, and health to our food and I think this is an...

I'm so glad I found this site. Easy gardening is the only way I garden, lol. We recently moved back to the boonies and have room for gardening, chickens, and of course all the kids and grandkids. My teenage sons reluctantly help me in the garden.
