The easiest way to step up your game in the kitchen is fresh ingredients. If you want to know what goes into the food your family eats, and not worry about chemicals, the best way is to grow your own produce. That’s how I got interested in gardening and I hope you will too.

Over the past several years, we’ve grown anything from rosemary and thyme to apple trees, and I understand the challenges of growing a garden in the urban and rural areas. Thankfully, we have been blessed with a decent backyard to conduct my agricultural learning, but you can start small, and expand depending on the area and time you can devote to this project.

I will provide you with gardening tips throughout the year to make sure you are successfully on the way to grow your herb and vegetable garden, and I can’t wait to hear from you about your gardening experiences.
