A summer at home. How to get a garden started during stay-at-home.

Will radish cure Covid-19? Can arugula work as PPE? Can a tomato pay a car payment…Nope. Nope. And probably not. But you’re home, you need to eat, and going to the grocery store feels like gearing up to clean up Chernobyl, so grow a little food to lighten the load. Plus the supermarket is a strange place, if you want frozen broccoli good luck or the latest run on unsalted butter… oy.

But hear me out… Even growing a tiny bit of food at home can bring so much joy and nourishment to a home. A lettuce planter that grows 6 heads of ‘pick and come again lettuce’ and a couple herbs and cutie edible flowers is saving all those tiny plastic herb boxes and salad containers from ever being used PLUS your family gets to watch it grow!

After 3 or 4 weeks you have has salads a couple times a week from it and the kids agree to ... try it… and maybe they like it, maybe they don’t. BUT they tried it!!! And you get to enjoy the tastiest salads you’ll ever have!
