Sometimes I end up rummaging through past posts for one reason or another, and a post that I have written (and forgotten about) will jump out at me and I am freshly inspired by whatever it was that spurred me on to write the post in the first place. The quote below is from just such a post that I re-discovered a few weeks ago. It was called "Rejoicing in my Role", and it keenly expressed a challenge that I still deal with, more than [...]
When I first began, I suppose I had this idea that gardening was the same everywhere... you dug up some dirt, put in seeds, fertilized and pulled some weeds, then enjoyed a harvest. A little naive (or maybe just hopeful), I now know that there is more to making a garden work in your specific neck of the woods. This is part of our Gardening 101 series, where we're covering a lot of basics, and I certainly don't want to complicate things. But I do [...]
Written by Emily McClements, Contributing Writer Growing your own organic vegetables is a great way to provide your family with nourishing and frugal food.

Written by Anne Elliot, Contributing Writer I'm not much of a gardener, but over the last few years, I'm been attempting a little bit more each summer. It started three summers ago when I planted just a few things in a small bed in the back yard. A friend of mine had been gardening for years, and she came over and helped me figure out what to do when. My backyard was too shady for things to grow well, but it was a good start [...]

Written by Beth Corcoran, Contributing Writer If you reside in a cooler climate, you probably can enjoy being outdoors all day long. But I live in the middle of Oklahoma, where temperatures frequently are miserable, and it can even be dangerous to play outside in the middle of the day. For that reason, my kids primarily play outdoors in the early morning and then again after dinner. And because their outdoor playtime is limited to just a few hours a day, I want to make [...]
