My husband and I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon with our three kids, ages 4-6. Our two goats I’m planning to milk next year We also have a big garden, fruit trees, a medicinal herb garden and grow some cut flowers. I am super impressed by your gardening skills, and wow, your cut flowers are gorgeous.

The summer garden season is winding down for me. As I begin to clear out the garden, I am making notes for next year. I have been keeping a garden notebook ever since I started my garden back in the summer of 2002 and it comes in handy year after year. Do you keep a garden notebook? Let us know in the comments.

Instead, you broke your budget buying every gadget from the big box gardening store – not to mention the pricier mature plants and the chemicals to make them grow faster and produce more. Our grocery budget dropped by over $40 per week in the third year of my gardening efforts and it gets better every year.

Cantaloupe is one of my most favorite things to grow in the garden. In years past, the plants took over my garden and spilled into the yard , so I changed my planting strategy for the melons this year and planted upward , not at ground level. The taste is unbelievable, so sweet and juicy. Do you plant melons vertically?

I was able to plant my herbs in my square foot garden on Monday, before the rains came in. What herbs do you grow in your garden? My veggies will have to wait another day. I expanded my herbs this year. I have always planted parsley and rosemary, but this year I added a few more. How do you preserve them? Let us know in the comments.

I spent a lot of time this past spring shoveling out the old clay dirt that was in my garden and replacing it with the mix that is recommended in the book, Square Foot Gardening. My yard and garden is their 24 hour buffet. Upon showing my tomato to my fellow gardening neighbor, she told me that she was having the same problem.
