Time to Plant!

Yesterday while we were playing outside, Tate looked up at me and said,

"Grandma Stradling MADE this grass!"

(She helped to lay the sod down)

For all of you gardeners and want-to-be-gardeners out there,

It's OFFICIALLY TIME TO PLANT! I can't tell you how awesome it is to grow your own food. This last season was my first time ever, and amazingly it worked. So, if you think you aren't capable-you are! Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can!

• I consider my Grandpa Manning to be the best gardener around, and I've gotten some papers from him that he has saved throughout the years on gardening. Click HERE to see the papers. Soil Preparation is the KEY to gardening, click HERE for good AZ soil prep info.

Good luck to all of you, and to me!
