For as long as I could remember I’ve always wanted a garden, a full fledged chock full of veggies kinda garden. I’ve also wanted an apple tree. Over the last 3 years we’ve been very successful with tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans and blueberries. Watermelons and peppers don’t seem to like us very much though. I achieved my goal, kinda.
I’ve never done much research on what should be planted where and when; just really hoped for the best most of the time. We’ve had some failures but overall my family has been able to harvest a great deal of food and enjoy over the summer. I probably should have reviewed this “Find Your Zone” map from Home Depot’s Garden Club. It would’ve saved me all the guess work I’m sure.
Home Depot has been my go to each year is buy my seedlings, plants, soil and tools. It usually happens like this.
Me on a bright sunny Spring day “Rob, let’s go get everything for the garden”
Rob “But I was hoping to just relax today”
Melinda “You can relax next week. I want to start the garden today”
We then head to our local Home Depot, load up on soil, mulch for the yard and tons of plants to get the veggies and herbs planted.
Rob is dreading this conversation from me. It’s likely to happen within the next 2 weeks. I can’t wait. The kids can’t wait. My yard can’t wait.
This year I have a couple projects in mind. I want to build up the garden beds, level out the walkway at the entrance into the yard and build up the ground at the bottom of our steps so it doesn’t puddle when it rains.
I know Home Depot is going to have everything I need for these ideas and any new ones that pop into my head during the season. the Home Depot Garden Club is more than a shopping site for plants and dirt, it’s the world’s largest garden community with access to experts to all of your gardening needs and questions.
