Green Thumb

I have an herb garden!!  So I LOVE to cook and use tons of fresh herbs to add flavor (add reduce sodium intake).    Normally I just buy packages of herbs, but why?  Herbs are some of the easiest things to grow.  This year I found a completely boidegradable/compostable seed starting kit--Burpee eco-friendly seed starting 25-cell greenhouse kit.  It was so easy.  I planted thyme, parsley, and chives.  Next week I'll be planting cilantro--my all-time favorite herb!!  

Also we, as a family, might go over Nick's granparents and plant a garden.  They have had one every every since...well as long as anyone can remember, but they have some health problems and can't do it this year.  We are going simple just tomatoes, corn, squash, maybe field peas, and cucumbers.  In the late summer/early fall we might do some potatoes, carrots and onions.  It is going to hard work, but a new and rewarding experience.  It just makes me so excited!

I'll update as I go along, throw in a few tips along the way if you want totry to start a garden.  I am sure there will some new recipes as well.
