Don't you think it's pretty cool to serve up a salad for your family with the vegetables you picked just minutes ago in your own garden?
Have you ever considered starting a vegetable garden? In recent years, we've seen an increase in the number of moms (yes, modern moms like YOU) turning to their own gardens to grow their own vegetables to save money, eat healthy foods, and live a more holistic lifestyle overall. Some say that gardening is even a stress-reliever (although when I think about the trials of my first-time gardening experience, I'm not so sure I'd agree).
The point is, however, organic gardening is enjoying a level of popularity like never before, and raised gardening seems to be the popular choice. A quick stroll around a few of the backyards in your neighborhood might reveal small board or stone sided rectangles in peoples' backyards housing mini vegetable gardens. That’s called “raised bed” gardening, and it’s actually a GREAT method for breaking into gardening. As with all new hobbies, there are many considerations (and for the record, we are NOT experts on raising vegetables. In fact, we’re still trying to figure out how to raise our kids!), but we wanted to give you some information to get you started.
