vegetable garden

Ppppsssss.  POP!

“Yep…. it’s good!”

Some of my earliest memories are of listening for those sounds when my mom would open a can of fruit or vegetable when preparing a meal.  That sound meant the seal was good and the food inside was safe to eat.  I may be biased, but there’s nothing better than home-canned fruit or vegetables!  There is no comparison between home-grown food and what we buy at the store- in flavor or nutrition.

If you are looking to fertilize your garden without chemicals like Miracle-Gro it will require an understanding of plant nutrients and organic fertilizers. Vegetable gardening can be supremely rewarding and incredibly frustrating. If the plants have good quality soil and the nutrition they need, they thrive.  We, in turn, are blessed with a lot of veggies and very little pests and disease problems. That’s the supremely rewarding part. If our garden soil is less than good quality and the plants don’t have the nutrition they need, things take on a very different story!
