Hello Everyone,

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday at "The Growing Place" in Aurora at 1:00 PM.  The "vegetable garden to the table" demonstration should be fun.  It is a really large garden center with lot's to see.

In the meantime, I've found great organic Gardening tips on the SeedsofChange website.  Here's the link to the website ==> www.seedsofchange.com.

I also found great information on "raised be gardening" on the Better Homes & Gardens website
www.bhg.com.

I am making a trip to Lizzie's Gardens on 111th and Route 59 to find out more about the compost for sale.

Happy Gardening.

What are your gardening plans for this season?

I have ordered a raised bed gardening kit called "Vegtrug". It should arrive in a few weeks. I also have started my tomato seeds indoors.   

Organic seeds are the latest trend.  The target on 127th has a large variety.
