How do You Spend Time in Your Garden?

Check out what our readers have to say...

My garden is not what most would consider as a typical backyard oasis, but I love it! I live in a condo and don't have access to a grassy backyard, so I have created a container garden. I grow flowers, herbs and some vegetables on my terrace. Each sunny summer morning I enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace while taking in the beauty of my garden.

Five years ago a close friend of mine introduced me to canning. I started to can from the fruits and vegetables I would get from farm stands. Now I have expanded to growing my own garden. Each spring I plan my garden based on what I want to can at the end of the growing season. I love my time spent in the garden, and can honestly say that it provides daily clarity. My garden is a gift to me as much as it is a gift to others with the canned goods I can pass on.
