This isn’t our first Garden, but it is the biggest we have done! No matter your space you can have a garden wether it be on your porch, balcony or even in your kitchen! We love to container garden and this time we decided to do some raised beds.

TIPS FOR GROWING A GARDEN :
- Find the right location for your garden. Make sure it gets the sun, shade and be aware of wind.
- Figure out what you are going to plant your garden in. Will you plant in the ground, raised bed, or container.
- Seeds or Starts? I love a combo of growing both! Just make sure to time correct!
- Soil – How is your soil? Do you need to add more? Should you get it tested.
- How are you going to water your garden? Hose or irrigation?
- Is your garden protected from animals? Should you add a cover?
- Pests – How will you get rid of them?
- Fertilizer? I don’t use any just BugHut – I will share more about that if you keep reading!
