Have you started to get gardening and seed catalogs yet? Now during these more sedate months before spring bursts upon us is the right time to plan your family garden. Ever since the Garden of Eden, gardening has been a timeless way to exercise, get fresh air and sunshine, plus reap the benefits of growing your own healthy and fresh food.
Still, to be realistic, it is hard work (weeding, composting, planting, harvesting, watering, and more). Continue reading at Raising Homemakers.

Just stumbled in and what a lovely place. I was hooked when I saw your name AND that you spell it correctly!
Off to squeeze in a few Encourage links before the children are ready for me and praying you a lovely day.
We just moved to a small rental this year and we were not planning on having a garden. After reading though I am remembering how much we love it and I may have to make an effort to build some boxes and grow this year too! Thanks for the inspiration.
Is that a picture of your garden? It is beautiful:)
Yes, Dana, it is the one we designed and put in almost 3 years ago. right outside the back door. It has been such a blessing to us, providing us with fresh organic produce. How is your dear family? I trust you are all doing well in the Lord

Oh, now I want to come visit and learn how you created such beauty in raised beds!! I’m a gardening wanna-be, but somehow I just never manage to get it to look pretty in the process! You’ve inspired me…again!
I have enjoyed reading your gearden posts, I live in NW FL (zone 8b) so we have many things in the ground. Do you mind if I ask what growing zone you are in?
No, Lela, I don’t mind. We are in zone 5, but like this year, we seem to be more like living in a zone 6. It has been so very warm. I have thought about putting in peas.
Thank you for sharing these ideas!
Beautiful!
Regards and best wishes

Your garden is so lovely. I see your arbors in the distance but cannot tell what they are connected to at the base. I had talked to a lady at the local tractor supply about using that fencing for an arbor but she said it would get too hot and burn the beans and squash. Any advice?
Hi, there, Rosevine Cottage Girls! The trellis’ are very helpful and don’t burn anything. We grow squashes, cukes, and green pole beans on them. They are cattle panels…here’s the link: http://www.deeprootsathome.com/?p=1787 Oh, I do wish you well!! Thanks
