Now, as an adult with her own home and garden, composting is (pathetically?) I love dumping buckets full of organic waste into our homemade bin. There’s nothing happier to a wannabe gardener!

Homemade Basil and Walnut Pesto: I made my second batch of homemade pesto from my two garden basil plants. I think summer is the easiest season to meal plan, I keep our meals simple–a grilled protein, side salad, corn on the cob, and fresh summer fruit, such as watermelon and/or cantaloupe.

It adds flavor to homemade chicken stock , crunch to salads, and a smooth surface to slather on my favorite sun-dried tomato hummus.

However, growing your own organic herb garden can be intimidating, especially if you know nothing about plants. Additionally, when everything you need is just at the local supermarket, it almost doesn’t make sense to grow your own garden, much less an organic one, which, by the sheer sound of it, sounds difficult.
