As I’m typing this up today it’s raining outside like nobody’s business and I’m loving it. Why? Simply put, I don’t have to water the garden. Yes, I’m being lazy but for good reason, free water means a lower water bill<\/a> and that makes me happy especially when my rain barrel is full! Having a garden takes alot of love and attention. I know many people who think they can plant some seeds and walk away and believe they will have an abundance of herbs and vegetables grow all on their own.<\/p>\n

Ask my mate Karen at Lil Suburban Homestead<\/a> what is involved with gardening and I’m sure she will give you an earful. I’m not going to lie she has taught me a thing or two this year and I certainly enjoy her blog simply for the personal touch that she brings to it. Karen treats me, one of her fans like I want to treat all of my fans, and that to me makes me feel at home.<\/p>\n

When Mrs. CBB and I go for a walk we see a couple of our neighbours who have overgrown gardens and simply because they don’t tend them. Our one neighbour just the other day was complaining that she had hardly anything grow in her garden after I said we couldn’t keep up with eating our tomatoes. (Yes she had her hand up ready to take them off our hands) I asked her if she strung her tomatoes up and did she give them enough water, did you pick the weeds etc. I’m sure you are not surprised when she said no, she didn’t have the time. \u00a0So not only patience is needed with a garden but so is time.<\/p>\n

Mrs.CBB and I were talking the other day about our Pepper and Tomato plants and how we planted the seeds in early March 2012 and we are now reaping the rewards of our hard work. Was it worth it? Sure it was and yes it took some work but when you breath in the organic smell of the peppers and tomatoes (and those of you who grow them know exactly what smell I’m talking about), then you can bet we would do it all over again.<\/p>\n

Will you start a garden next year and what will you plant?<\/p>\n
