If we can grow things, anyone can

We've always considered ourselves horticulturally challenged. However, last year one of the Buzzy herb kits caught our eye at CVS. It seemed pretty idiot proof so we thought we'd give it a try. It came with tiny little pots and you could use the plastic container as a greenhouse to get the seeds started. We were so excited to see the little plants actually come up. Then, all we did was transfer them to bigger pots and put them outside. There is just nothing like fresh basil. That is one of our favorites but we have a lot of different plants growing this year. If anyone has good uses for marjoram let us know. Seeds for it seem to be in many of the kits and we aren't familiar with it. We've even branched out this year and planted a couple of tomato plants and pepper plants in a big plastic pot on the patio. You'll see in the picture that we have lots of cherry tomatoes and peppers growing. There is an intrinsic thrill to watching your food grow that was dormant in us after years of grocery shopping. If you're not ready to replace your entire yard with a garden, you can just keep it small and plant a patio garden like we did. We love that Buzzy has these cute little creatures with herbs growing out of them to spark kids' interest in gardening early. That can lead to an interest in cooking and that can lead to them making dinner for you. It's win/win. Even with limited space, we can all embrace how chic farming has become.
