I can smell spring, and it's not too far away. Yay! I have a lot of projects lined up for our yard and vegetable garden. I hope that I'll be able to get to all of it before we leave for our summer vacation in July. I have a small vegetable garden in our lot. It's the right size for me since I don't want to spend the whole day tending to it. I love Roma tomatoes so I plant a couple of those. I found this organic tomato growing kit online. This year I want to plant some summer squash or zuccini. This year, I also want to get some organic gardening products like plant insect control. We like to eat fresh tomatoes so it's important to use organic pests control. We have too many chemical products around the house and we're trying to change that. My kids also like to help out in the garden and I feel it's safer for them if we use these Safer Brand Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer instead of some pesticides with harmful chemicals. Which reminds me, I also need to look for some organic deer repellent. Every year, a doe and her baby Bambi eats my hostas for breakfast so I end up with half-eaten plants at the start of summer. I don't like to use strong chemicals since the kids play in the yard all summer long. It's really important not to expose the children to chemicals since we don't know if there are any long term effects from this. I think it's better to be safe this way, don't you?
