How Does Your Garden Grow?

A friend of mine has a very read-worthy blog called Laundry on the Line.  She's a school teacher by day, but her free time is devoted to creative exploits of all types.  Thus, she blogs about everything, or just about!  Her creative talents lend themselves to gardening, cooking, scrapbooking, and sewing, to name just a few.


She recently started a new series on her blog entitled How Does Your Garden Grow, which will be full of all sorts of handy gardening tips for those of us who are tired of putting in a ton of work with little know-how and yielding unpredictable results!  She's going to take us on her gardening journey for this year's growing season (May-October).  I'm especially excited because she's going to include posts on herb gardens, which is what I'm most interested in.  Store bought fresh herbs are pricey and are hard to keep fresh once you get them home.

Check out this multi-faceted blog and you'll be glad you did.  Happy gardening everyone!

  1. Thanks, Corinne! Herb posts will be coming soon! Until then, have you tried storing your herbs with their stems in water? They tend to keep a lot longer that way. I trim the ends and then put them in a glass (like you'd put flowers in a vase) and then cover them with a plastic bag before putting them in the fridge. It works really well with parsley and cilantro.

  2. Great tip! I also store store-bought herbs that way, and it definitely helps preserve their freshness. I recently tried that with green onions, and they stayed fresh for over a week! That is something else I'd like to grow at home... :)
