Spring is here! Would you like to grow your own garden? Gardens come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You can start a garden in containers, such as barrels and pots, in bottles and jars, even in an old rubber tire. Maybe you have an area in your yard which is just for you. I've found some terrific ideas about gardens to share with you this week.
