And I may be a "Queen," but let me assure you... we have no gardener and no landscaper around here. 😄
Truthfully, I don't consider myself much of a gardener at all.
But what kind of garden would a Little House on the Prairie lover create?
Here's mine.
I was lucky enough to find a couple of old wagon beds that had seen better days, and instead of letting them go to waste, we gave them a new purpose as raised garden beds. The rest is raised-bed history!
Being Italian, my wagons are overflowing with San Marzano tomatoes. My newest addition is what I jokingly call my "Off the Boat" garden bed, and if all goes well, we'll be serving up some delicious "Eggplant Off the Boat" later this season. Hopefully, there will be a "sea" of blueish purple flowers filled in by next year, looking like a wavy lake.
There's just something satisfying about repurposing a piece of history, growing your own food, and enjoying a little taste of simpler times.
What's growing in your garden this year?
