It’s mid February  and I am getting my vegetable gardening seed starting station ready in the basement. I want to make sure I am a bit more prepared than last year. I kind of let things get a head of me and before I realized it I was about a month behind and ended up buying all my vegetable plants already started.

I don’t mind spending money, when I have to, but just getting too busy on other things isn’t a good excuse. I would rather spend my money on the gardening tools that will help us work smarter not harder.

We still produced a lot of great produce and tried so many new recipes. Man they were tasty using fresh vegetables. This year we plan to increase our vegetable garden to double, maybe even triple, the size.

We have already started a herb garden indoors so we have fresh herbs year round but we plan to grow enough herbs to dry our own for the winter months.

Right now we tend to use our indoor herbs faster than we can grow them, so I am starting twice as much as we did on this first time around. The aroma from the fresh herb and the taste they offer makes us want fresh over dried.
