Spring is a great time to spend with kids learning the basics of gardening. There are several easy-to-grow options that you can start inside for almost instant results. The more results kids see, the more interested they become.
I have several gardening experiments every season. This year it happens to be cucumbers so that we can make our own pickles. Never mind that Greg doesn't like pickles but I do and I've already got the cukes started!
This time of year is tough for gardeners and to celebrate the two trays of seeds that I planted today, here's a quick video of one the EASIEST flowers to start indoors - Sunflowers!
You probably know by now that I'm a gardening junkie. My experience is purely trial and error but as a MOOSE listener you'll now be able to get free flower seedlings straight from me. Why?
I want to start some seeds indoors even though it is FAR too early. I've got dozens of little packets, far more than I have time or room to deal with. That is not the point.
I need your opinion. What hedge or ornamental bush grows well and LOOKS GOOD in the Bozeman area? I'd like something that changes with the seasons, perhaps something red in the Fall. We tore out the half dead, decades old landscaping so now I've got a blank slate!
