There’s something magical about harvesting your own garden tomatoes or picking a bunch of homegrown flowers to brighten up a room. For many of my circle, gardening becomes a lifestyle and minor obsession. There’s something imminently satisfying about growing food that’s directly feeding family and friends.
It’s been years since my last garden but I’m jonesing to get back in the game and join gardening friends to comparing planting strategies and swapping gardening tips. I’m picking up a few of these for myself, and putting the rest on a Christmas list with crossed fingers.
