Start a Garden

I have some seeds started in various planters and am thinking about making our garden area bigger and maybe expanding to the front yard. Our blueberry and blackberry bushes are looking good - a few leaf buds are forming. I hope the asparagus I planted last year comes up. This year, I'm planting cilantro, basil, rainbow chard, tomatoes, lettuce, onions and green beans.

I saw this great article about the new garden at the White House with tips on how you can plan your own plot.

Even if you have a super small yard, you can grow things in pots and hanging baskets.
When it gets warmer, I'm hooking up my rain barrel too.
