Fill. Plant. Grow!

When the world wearies and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden.

Despite the frigid Michigan zone 5b temperatures, gardening lives on 365 days a year in my world even when I am indoors!

Greeted with a cold gush of air in the dead of winter, can you imagine how delighted I was to discover The Little Acre™ ?!?

Here’s what I love about The Little Acre™:  It is truly so simple and convenient to set up.  It has multiple uses and appeals to a very large audience!  So perfectly designed to engage and encourage growing!

Follow these simple steps to start gardening:

1. Unfold the bag, set it in a sunny place, fill it with 10-11 cubic feet of  soil/compost combo

2. Plant your favorite veggies, herbs, berries and flowers – seeds or plants

3. Water!

Yep, it’s that easy.  For me, it is perfect for growing herbs!  Until spring arrives and warmer temperatures, I will patiently wait and develop my planting strategies!

 May all your gardens grow,

 

Dig, Plant, Mark, Grow!

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Brilliant!  Imagine purchasing organic seeds packaged in snazzy bold colors with corresponding wooden spikes identifying its contents!  An innovative student at Vancouver Island University designed these very COOL plant markers that scream TURN-KEY operation!  I love how growing for home gardeners keeps getting easier and easier!

May all your gardens grow,
