I shared a post on Instagram the other day about watching the price of food go up and up in the past several months and why I choose to grow my own food and y’all went crazy (in a good way!) and had TONS of questions about gardening.

I thought I’d share the answers to some FAQ’s that I got on the post and share some of my favorite supplies that I use in my own garden, but please leave any additional questions you have in the…

Garden Update 2020 + How You Can Grow Your Own Food
It’s been almost ten years since I started to garden with my own little family.

Look What Grew In Our Garden
I know ya’ll love a garden update and I’m SO excited to share ours with you! As you know, I shared about our raised beds back on May 5th. You can read all about that by clicking here. We have had a raised bed garden for the past 6 years and it has been a huge blessing in our lives. I grew up having a huge garden at my Dad’s farm and to be able to have a similar experience with my own children is really meaningful to me. So far, everything is growing really well! We make sure that it’s watered every day (it’s actually Nolan’s job to do…
