Gardening

We are seeing green grass all over now and wow the splendor of the color! After the dull brown grounds of winter it is a refreshing time of new growth! The tulips are blooming and fields of Wheat are growing and looking so lovely and lush and green.

I remember many a day getting out in the garden with the shovel and the hoe, helping my Grandma on my mother's side of the family on her farm start clearing out the garden space and loosening up the soil to plant the seeds for the wonderful garden vegetables we would have later on in the summer! Yum Yum! Nothing like the feeling of tasting those super sweet garden tomatos and the super sweet cantaloupes!

Sitting and snapping green beans with my Grandma and Great Grandma was a fun time for me! I couldn't wait to start over the next day!

If you are thinking of planting a garden you should check out this deal at Henry Fields to get you growing- Save $20 off any $50 purchase of seeds or plants.

When we first got married we had the best tomato garden and they were huge beefsteak tomatos, we just fertilized all the area and the loosened soil beneath the plant when we put them in the ground and Oh what a treat when we saw the fruit and veggies we got off of them later in the year. We grew our own okra and what a delicious treat that is too along with the sweet corn here in Oklahoma.

The super sweet cherry or grape tomatos are also wonderful and during the summer,
When we grow tomatos in the summer I could almost make a meal of them, I want to eat them with everything and I seem to never grow tired or ever get too many.
