My Awesome Organic Garden!!!


This is a picture of my organic garden in full bloom in mid-August. What a beautiful piece of work. I am so very proud of this. The time that we invest in it as a family is so worth it when we get to bite into fresh mouth watering cucumbers, zucchinis, tomatoes, beans, peppers, squash, cauliflowers etc...mmmm...
On a beautiful spring day like today, all I can think of is getting everything ready to start up my organic garden. From the composting to the best mineral filled rich organic soil that I can create..this is truly my summer passion.
It is our biggest pride to watch all of our beautiful vegetables grow from small plants to over-sized juicy , flavorful gems. Check out this over sized zucchini in my hands...they make the best fresh muffins or breads that I love to share with family and friends....
Nothing like going in the garden after dinner, watching and listening to nature's gift grow...wholesome goodness.... natural perfection.
You get out of it what you put into it. There is effort and time involved but it is so worth it when you see and taste the final product of nature's perfect food.
Here is  my 5 year old niece Chloe  holding two of my Roma tomatoes...the size and flavor is unbelievable!!!
You don't need to use chemicals, pesticides and harmful products that will only add negative effect on your food...there are so many natural ways to get rid of pests, insects etc....
Nature knows what insects will benefit what plant, you can try plant pairing (meaning that plant combinations can help one another with destructive insects), planting citronella plants around your garden and yard (natural mosquito repellent for humans) etc....the list goes on and it so easy to find information on natural pesticides on the Internet these days....check out the following video...very interesting natural suggestions.
Here is a great video that shows you how to get started on your own organic garden...sooo easy!!!!
I hope this gives you the bug to get started on your own fantastic organic garden...good luck!!!

Stay healthy....
