Harvest time is here! The plants and seeds we planted in early spring are now producing their fruits and vegetables. Nothing tastes better than a fresh tomato, especially when it is accompanied with bacon and lettuce. Another one of my all-time favorites is a fresh sweet potato. I have never grown sweet potatoes myself, but my family has grown them for the past few years. Did you know a sweet ... Read More about Sweet Potato

I called my friend to tell her I proved her theory wrong ... Read More about How Does Your Garden Grow
