Gardening runs in Shane's family. His mom is a PRO! Seriously, really good. We have enjoyed gardening throughout our marriage, and left behind our most successful one in Harrisonburg, VA. Though we are now living in the DESERT, we are attempting to grow a few meager vegetables and one pot of strawberries. This was the beginning. Currently, we have lettuce growing successfully...nothing else. Everything has sprouted, but nothing has born fruit. We need some pointers, badly!
Shane's new idea is hydroponics...maybe the desert will be more giving if we use that route. We are open to suggestions!

Very fun! I'm not a pro by any means but last summer I had a garden with strawberries and cucumbers. I put the strawberries in the sun for most of the day and then put them in the shade at 3ish. Cucumbers take FOREVER to sprout and then grow. If you don't want to start with seeds you can buy small plants that have already started to grow from Target, Walmart, Lowes or Home Depot. Right now is the best time of year for strawberries, at least for me it was.
Tara B on my friends list grows tons of things in her back yard! She used to be in our ward. You could email her if you want tips!
You guys are so fun! I loved having strawberries. I can't wait to see everything as it grows!
