gardening

Three reasons why you should leave those weeds in your lawn or garden alone... at least for now.

It's the perfect time of year in New Jersey to start planting those early vegetables.

Just because it's late summer doesn't mean it's too late to start planting. Check out these garden favorites you can try with your kids before the growing season is over.

I'll be perfectly honest my thumbs are not green lol I have very little talent at gardening...I leave that to April and let her do our backyard garden. Our home garden is April's project and she is totally into it and is a great hobby and she's had great success now over the years.

I know a lot of people have grown potatoes before, but personally I have not known anyone who actually grew their own potatoes….until now !

It is that time of year, garden season. Many of you may have a home garden and love each spring to start over again and bring those home gardens to life. Whether is flowers or veggies or both, people are passionate about their gardens! Maybe you have a backyard garden or plants in your homes.....spring and summer gardening is a huge hobby and you bring life into your home.

Yes they are very cute and yes they are very small and defenseless, but Chip & Dale along with their cousins Alvin, Simon and Theodore are a handful around the house, especially if you have a backyard garden. Or as they like to call it a “food forest”.

It is that time of season and anyone with even one green thumb is thinking “gardening”. Great hobby, productive, safe outdoor activity, healthy etc. My wife April has extended our garden this year and it will be bigger than ever.

I see buds on our trees and flowers poking though the earth and I'm soooo excited!!! Spring is here and when the time is right, (usually anytime after Mother’s Day) you can start planting those flowers! I’ve been told that I’m a flower whisperer so I want to share my tricks for bigger buds with you!

Have fun and teach your kids to conserve and protect our air, water, land and wildlife for a cleaner, healthier, and safer place to live, work, and play.

You can see by the picture that my Mom has the ultimate “Green Thumb.” Her gardening hobby is both rewarding and therapeutic. I always knew that gardening helps some people relax, but I never thought of the other amazing health benefits.
