Time to Plan the Garden

Here in the SE United States, spring is around the corner. It's time to plan the garden, plow/turn the soil, order/gather seeds and so forth.

This year I am determined to 'work smarter, not harder'. I will win the battle of the weeds. (Positive thinking...go with me on this...ha!)

I read an article that suggested laying old cardboard over the entire garden, moistening it, and covering it with a mulch. Then when it's time to plant, the cardboard will be softened enough to put your hole in it and plant your little seedling.

I'm really considering this idea! What do you think? Do you have a great way to make the garden less labor intensive?? Email me your ideas and I'll put them all together into a little "Helpful Hints for the Garden" for everyone.

Have a wonderful Wednesday. Say "hello" to someone you don't know today. It might be the only smile they receive today.
