Plot 85

I just received my plot from the Dunwoody Community Garden two days ago. I have started to weed it out which was back breaking work. I can't wait to get started planting. I did go to Lowes and get some seasonal plants like greens, broccoli, and mums. I thought this would be easy since we use to grow a garden every year back at home but this "organic only" and "raised gardens" are new to me. We will see how it works out.
I even employed my son to work with me!

Dig Drop Done

I love this colorful new website Dig Drop Done. It gives great information about planting bulbs, when to plant them, and how to plant them. This foundation was created to help others get excited about planting or gardening and to use it to benefit from the act of gardening and the beautiful flowers you will get in return. This playful website has 3 characters, the fashionista, the super mom, and the empty nester, that give you various pointers or ideas on planting bulbs whether it's in the subarbs, city, or country. This website makes me so excited about gardening because I miss the country but can have a piece of it anywhere I live.

Giving Back

I have been looking for ways to use my "green thumb" to satisfy my recent urge to grow something and to give back. I found a local community garden that allows you to have a plat to grown flowers and vegetables and also help with the plots that are for the local food bank.
Dunwoody Community Garden is a place where you can learn about organic gardening, healthy lifestyles, and be a part of  helping others in the community meet their needs by providing wholesome food.
When I am able to get my plot set up, I will post pictures of my progress.

Happy Growing!
