I know it doesn’t look like it yet, but there will soon be lettuce and spinach in this garden plot you see here…
Talk about exciting! I didn’t even know Matt was planning to get started on our garden until he already had this space dug up and some seeds planted. With the weather being unseasonably warm for days on end, we are starting a little earlier this year.
We’ve begun making plans for the rest of our garden. Matt even found some asparagus to plant, which will be a fun new addition this year. Now we just have to work on not getting too hungry for the fresh produce while we wait for it to grow!
I’m so thankful that we have space to plant a garden – and that we were able to get started with our growing season already. Bring on the fresh salads!

Us too! I already have cucumbers coming up and we just purchased our other seed and plants today. So exciting!
I am going to try to get a Gratituesday post written tonight. I was wondering if it would be ok to use one of your Gratituesday images? Like this one? https://www.heavenlyhomemakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/gratituesday21.jpg
Sure!
Thank you! I’m so happy to finally have completed my first Gratituesday post!
I am working on our first garden this week! I am very excited about it, but the hubby…. well… he’s wondering where I’ll find the time. It will be nice to have something to work on while the kiddos want outdoor time!
We started our plants on 3/16 and my sunflowers and pea plants are already over a foot tall!! My cucumbers are about 3 inches, marigolds are about an inch, my daisies are still sprouts along with my lettuce and tomatos… I think my lettuce died since it’s been about 80 every day since then =[
Happy Gardening!!
We just moved from our home into a little condo (with our three boys) and now it’s planting time! I have my seeds germinating on my kitchen counter. Wonder if we’ll have a piece of property for me to transplant them to in the near future! Ha.
I just planted peas, spinach, lettuce, onion and garlic today! It feels so good to be in the garden again.
How exciting! I love to garden. You made me hungry for salads.:)
I would love to garden….. Maybe next year.
We have room for only a very small garden, but I can’t wait to plant it. Have fun!
We put our garden in a few weeks early this year, and already have seedlings peaking up! This time of year is so exciting!
I just planted a cucumber plant, a red pepper plant, a tomato plant and 9 romaine lettuce plants in my half barrel containers yesterday! It’s my first attempt at growing veggies and I’m super excited! I hope the squirrels leave my plants alone! :).
Oooooooooh gardening! I’ve got my plants started insde and am impatiently waiting to get them outside!
I have 2 little boxes that I’m itching to get started planting in! I have to say that I am sooo envious of that black dirt you have there! I have red, mucky clay and lots of rock. Oh, the things I could grow in that beautiful soil of yours!
We had most of our seeds planted and were seeing the seedlings sprout…then…the cat decided to make our square foot garden boxes his litter box! Poor seedlings! We are having to start over with plants this time. I guess when you get a new cat, you have to modify your gardening a bit. :)
I am a small gardener but I love this time of year just planning and determining what we would like to plant.
Thanks for sharing. I love the start of a new gardening season. So much hope and expectation! I had to move my garden to the deck this year because of our huge abundance of deer.
I am hoping to put in a small garden this year as well as plant a bunch of flowers and bushes. I can’t wait to get started. :)
Found you through Jacinda at Growing Home! Lovely blog!
I’m hoping to plant a few tomato plants and maybe some iceberg lettuce. It will be our first year, and I’m not really sure where to start, but I’ll give it my best.
I love spring time and watching things grow, seeing baby animals born, flowers blooming and all of God’s handy work this time of year.
I am excited to read some of what people have linked up!
I’d love to garden but we don’t really have the space or know how. I’ve thought about container gardening but we have no plans to get started anytime soon. I’m over extended already.
This year, we are adding in a few raised beds. I’ll admit, we are getting a late start. Better late than never!
Thank you for keeping my spirit light. Every Gratituesday I am called to remember all that is good in my life. I post on FB what I am grateful for. This will be the first time that I blog it.

I am thankful to have found this free film on gardening which has a wealth of information.

That’s awesome you will have veggies growing. We got, what I think, is our last snowfall so no planting until this weekend. :o) Thank you for the link up.
I am so thankful that even after a prolonged illness, my needs are getting met. It’s amazing how God provides. :)
For three weeks I’ve had lettuce, spinach, kale, broccoli, cabbage and onions growing. I think I’m ready to start summer veggies already! It’s so warm here in tn (already been in the 80’s several days) that I think I can start my summer garden a month early!!! Woo hoo! I love putting out a huge garden and then canning like crazy in August and September :) Makes me so so happy!
Just got our potato bins built. I’m a new gardener and it’s very overwhelming. Hopefully, I’ll get better. Linked up with you today.
I’m heading out to buy some plants today. We don’t have the sun or room for a real garden but I’m going to try shade loving herbs and see how it goes.
Ditto ditto ditto!
I”m grateful to have land to plant on. We’ve got about 1/2 of our garden going so hopefully this weekend we’ll get the other 1/2 planted. :) So excited!!!
We’re just getting our garden going, too, but our weather hasn’t been very cooperative. Sharing about trying to keep a tradition we enjoy every year as the weather warms up.
Thanks for hosting, Laura!

I’ve never been much of a gardner. I tend to have a brown thumb. But I’ve been wanting to try growing tomatoes. Have fun planting!
Laura, that’s great news about your garden. My husband and I are excited to get started on ours! We move the weekend after Easter and, Lord willing, will be starting a garden at our new home! I know you have probably gardened for a while now- I recently saw a documentary called “Back to Eden” and thought it was wonderful how this man gardens (backtoedenfilm.com)! Just wanted to share :) And I am so thankful for my husband who blesses me and my goal of dressing more modestly. I felt it laid on my heart by the Lord to work on this area and my husband was fully supportive of this! – Nicole
I found two asparagus coming up today. Yea!!!
The previous owner planted our asparagus 3 years before they moved and we have been gathering it for the last six years. I understand that it lasts at least 20 years. Something truly to be thankful for :)
Love your blog!
I’m enjoying your blog, thanks!
