When we first bought this house the garden plot was quite small. In the two years that we have lived here it's nearly quadrupled in size. Perry and I both grew up helping our families garden so we always knew that it was something that we would want to teach Winter how to do at a young age. There is something magical about the whole process! We think that gardening will be even more special this year now that Winter is at the age where she is starting to eat solids. When Perry and I first started dating, I was intimated to start gardening again since it had been years since I watched my grandparents tend to one. I think the first step to getting over your hesitation is to simply try it! Below is a list of 5 easy vegetables to grow and why. I promise you don't need a green thumb to grow these bad boys. All you need is a small pile of dirt, some seeds, water and sun.
