We recently took a trip to Southern California's Mediterranean Coast, Santa Barbara. Upon our arrival we partook of the monthly farmers market and tasted fresh olive oil, smelled fresh herbs, ate fruits and vegetables just pulled from the ground. While experiencing the wonder of nature’s bounty we noticed the local restaurants arrive and take the bounty to their store for tonight's feast which was to say the least amazing!
Nature’s bounty is plentiful all season long here in California but now is the time to review your home space and start to incorporate herbs, produce, berries, and fruits. The easiest way to test your green thumb is to start with small indoor pots of herbs. Next try to plant herbs in your flower garden, try strawberry plants outside, try a topsy turvey to grow tomatoes, grow a fruit tree, but the most important thing is try as you will not regret the pride in growing your own garden, the taste and freshness, the fun at watching nature’s bounty grow, and the savings that a garden can bring to your pocket book.
To top off each season, pick what you have sown and invite family and friends over to enjoy the bounty you have grown, and create an amazing meal too.
Happy Gardening!
