Getting Ready For Another Season of Patio Gardening
After last summer, I was really burnt out on our garden. It wasn’t quite as fruitful as I wanted it to be and kind of ended in a fizzle. After a long winter, I’m excited for things to warm up and to start growing again.
This weekend we purchased all of our seeds, and even planted our first plants of the season. I think the plan is to start the seeds next weekend (depending on whether or not it decides to snow this weekend). We’re trying a lot of new plants this year, along with tried and true herbs and veggies from last year. I’m super excited to see what will happen.
For now I’ll leave you with our teaser for the next season and hopefully next week there will be videos and pictures to share of our first week.

I am super excited to follow your garden this year. I am even inspired to try a few things myself. Definatly going to do herbs and tomatoes. Depending on how adventours I am I will do others. I am just wondering where is the best place to get pots and any suggestions on which ones are best??
If you go to thrift stores or check on Craigslist or other similar sites you can often get secondhand pots for a steal. The absolute best time to buy pots is at the end of summer and in the fall when stores that sell them seasonally put them on clearance. Otherwise early in the spring a lot of places have them on sale. Usually nurseries and garden shops are the most expensive. Mass merchandisers like Target and chain home improvement usually have good deals. The best kinds of pots are the free ones you re-purpose out of other things 😉
All types of pots have their ups and downs. I may have to do a post about it because there’s too much to go into detail here. I’ll tell you right now, make sure to get something that has drainage in the bottom and avoid pots made out of metal because they’ll cook the plant roots.
