How does your garden grow?
Ours grows very slowly.
I could have bought herbs a bit more advanced but then we would have missed all the fun!
We decided to start from scratch.
Seeds!
Along with the basil, mint, and catnip
I thought it would be fun to grow some grass.
Why is it grass grows so fast?
I had to give it a cutting already.
Yes....It smelled like spring!
Nothing better than the smell of fresh cut grass
Madison also has a little garden growing as well.
To be quite honest..
hers looks better...ha!
I'm sure we will be visiting the fruit and veggie stand soon!
Do you have garden?
Nothing sings spring like a
Mossy covered pot.
Cant wait to show you how I dressed this pot of newly planted Rosemary up.
It's hanging from the top of the wire "thingamabob".
"Happy Gardening"!
xoxo Susie~

i should do a garden this year...my kids keep asking. but since we live somewhere so small i think it is going to have to be a container garden.
Gardening takes a super amount of patience..
Grass definitely grows so much faster!
But all this garding is fun, isn't it? I haven't done any gardening since I was younger and used to help out my grandpa!
I don't garden but I DO plant grass in Easter baskets....so fun!
I think I'm going to plant grass now! Thanks for the idea!
I love the grass in the galvanized containers. I've tried my hand at growing herbs in a window sill for a couple of years now and it's hit or miss for me. Last year, I tried a vegetable garden using the square foot method and boy was it bad! I think I was over zealous in what plants I could grow. This year, I'm trying it again and am sticking to tomatoes, peppers, herbs and flowers.
Love our containers of fresh grass but how, my dear, did you get your lawn mower in those little pots? Sea Witch
I have tulips right now on my window sill! I also have some green beans sprouting in a cup(daughter's Sunday School class started them). Always try to get a garden growing outside! Can't wait already have the seeds! I like your grass seed idea-very Spring!
Thanks for sharing,
Jody
Looks like yours is doing great. We will again try tomatoes and I think I am going to try some herbs this year.
Looking good Susie. Where did you find the grass seed? I've always wanted to try the grass...it looks so cute in those galvanized pots!
I always grow my gardens from seed! It's way more fun! I love your cute pots and markers! I've got 5 huge trays of seeds a simmering. Now I've just got to finish making my grow boxes that they will be going in (this week and weekends project). I move a lot and so I've finally decided to make up boxes that I will move along with me. I'm tired of leaving my gardens behind and starting from scratch! Though I just checked on my garden from my last house and it is growing strong. There are tomato plants in it that I planted from seed 3 YEARS AGO! Only in AZ could they live through the Winters! Ha. And I came home with a dozen tomatoes that were perfectly ripe right then (it was 2 weeks ago that I did this). I just LOVE gardening! Good luck with yours!

Last year was the first time I grew herbs from seeds and they did so much better! Love the grass idea! Enjoy your day!
Last year we planted four herb plants, a red bell pepper plant, a tomato plant and we did some hanging flowers.... Every last plant was dead by August... We like to call our balcony "the place where plants come to die". Needless to say, we will try try again soon!
Where did you get your herb markers? They are adorable!
Love to garden! Just gotta finish this kitchen up and then I'm gonna get planning our new garden! Love the grass & seeing those seedlings popping up is giving me hope for spring!! :)
Blessings,
Stacey
Your pots are precious!! This is a great time to start. And I love that grass. It's like bringing spring indoors!
I love to garden and grow everything. I just love to have an excuse to be outside!! I am like a kid, just wanting to get dirty!! lol!
Happy Thursday, Susie! :-)

Oh, Susie Q...I kill most everything..But each year I do it again...I think someday I will be the gardeer I long to be...Probably when the kiddos are grown...:) Drop in and enter in Simple GIVE~A~WAY!

I've been growing only rosemary, basil, and tomatoes, but I've decided that I want more! There's just nothing like homegrown produce. And the farmers' markets around here are so very expensive. So I'm thinking that "homegrown" really needs to become grown right here at home!
What kind of grass are you growing? It looks delightful. :)
I am going to miss gardening this season! We will be "in between" so I won't even be deck gardening. I will just have to check in with you and enjoy your progress toiling in the soil.
Doing tomatos this year from seed and peppers too. Always love a fresh salad! Your photos are very inspiring!
I certainly do NOT cringe when I read your posts. Good content is way more important than good grammar. :)
It does seem like there are a number of people who struggle with grammar, so maybe I can help them a little. That would make me happy.
Have a great day!
Now I want to grow grass. I'm sure it smells lovely and will bring some "Spring" into the room...great idea! I love growing lavender and mint. Smells lovely...
I want a garden, but I have a black tumb. My grandmother still plants and works a garden with enough food for 10 families, so I do get to enjoy fresh food.Come to think of it maybe life is perfect the way it is. So do plant a garden?

You have a green thumb... everytime I've tried starting herbs from seed I didn't get anything... now i bought starters and go from there... but still not great. Love the grass idea so cute in the window,
thank you for your comment on my son's room and i wanted to pop over and tell you i purchased it at PB kids... it also has a matching ceiling light fixtures that he has as well but forgot to take a shot of it.

My garden doesn't grow. I have a black thumb :(
Love rosemary! Can't wait to see how you dress it up. :)
We grow our garden from both seeds and plants,this way our harvest isn't coming in all at once.We use raised beds, regular tilled ground garden areas and Topsy Turvy planters.I can hardly wait to get my hands in the dirt,it has been a cold snowy winter here in WNC.
I need an herb garden! Great inspiration, thanks :)

You have got a nice garden out there. I think a connection with plants means a connection with the nature itself. Iflorist.co.uk
Such a great idea! What a wonderful way to add spring to the home!!
My dad always has a garden and can grow anything. We have had a rough winter and I think everyone is ready for spring!
Have a great weekend.
I love, love you stuff! If you ever need another place to advertise then please check out my blog. I would be so honored to have you!
I really like the grass!
I live in the garden of the Garden State, so YES, I love to garden!

I'm actually going to test my green thumb this year. I have a few pots ready for some herbs - just need to stuff to go in the pots now! Ha! I'm also hoping to do an outside garden as well. I'm really excited about it. I love your grass - I think I'll throw that seed packet into my cart too!
yes! we do a little gardening! my kiddos love it! cant wait to see what you do! xo
Love your little herb garden! What herb do you end up using the most?
We can't have an outside garden due to the dear deers!! But i have two big planters on my front porch and I always have flowering plants in them for the summer and fall! The deer won't come to the porch.....so far!!
Bring on the Spring weather!!! I've got the fever to do some gardening!
