Family garden

I am really hoping we don't get another round of extremely cold weather, but it is only February and I figure we'll get possibly another ice event and another hard freeze before spring fully settles in.

In the meantime, I can get some early gardening done with plants that don't mind cold weather, such as onions. I'll be trying to grow as many vegetables and herbs as possible this summer so I can add to my pantry and stop hemo rageing so much money on groceries!

I'm waiting now for delivery of non-GMO/non-Hybrid seeds for my garden. This way, I can actually save seeds during the summer harvests to use in coming years. If you can garden at all, even in containers, I strongly suggest you do so. Gardening is a great learning activity for kids, as they watch seeds burst forth from the soil as tiny plants, tend to them, and watch them grow and produce. My kids actually started eating veggies they had previously shunned when they grew them themselves!
