Spring Is Time For Planting/Gardening
I LOVE spring time!! The warmer temps have started the growth of my tulips, daffodils, and other spring time bulb flowers.
 Then yesterday Chandra was talking about her herb garden. It has inspired me to head out tomorrow and gather all the items I need to begin my own herb container garden. I will place the containers on our deck which gives easy access to the fresh herbs. Honestly, I don't have much of a green thumb. But I was reading up on herb container gardens and it doesn't sound too hard really. Do any of you ladies have a garden of any sort? If so, what do you plant and grow? I am hoping my herb garden will look as pretty as this picture I found on the internet.

I used to plant a really big garden when my kids were home and I canned a lot of it. Since we moved to where we are now the dirt is really tight and has a lot of clay and it's not good garden soil so my garden has to be quite a ways from the house and it's not convenient. I've asked my husband to build me some raised beds so the garden could be by the house but he won't do it so I quit gardening.
With the price of veggies I might have to give in and plant one anyway. Our fresh veggies at the store haven't been very good quality and expensive lately.

Wish I had a place to plant a garden, but for now we live in an apartment and we share our yard with neighbors. Ah, the joys of college life... lol

I always thought the soil was better in Kansas. Here where I am at in Arkansas, it's nothing but rocks and red dirt. Can't grow crap!  The only garden I have now is a flower garden in my front yard. We had to bring in nice top soil and stuff being we couldn't use the dirt we had. It too is raised like you talked about. I can't grow a veggie garden because we have too many rabbits, deer, and other critters who like to munch a bunch. I really enjoy my flower garden though.

Sheryl not to get off this subject, but I do love you steps. I want to redo my steps and pavers in the front of my house. Is that limestone with brick?
