TwiceToddlers (No More) and Daddy Plant Flowers

Last Sunday after church, my family went to purchase some flowers and soil. We got three Gerber Daisies, Yellow, White and Pink. We also got Ranaculus on Red and Yellow. I love these flowers, but would also like to get some more, along with building a raised vegetable garden. Nothing too big, just enough for three or four veggies I will eat daily or weekly with my family.

My twins, they love being outdoors, especially digging, and digging and more digging. I do have some more flowers we can plant, but they are in seed form and they can only be sown in September...

Here are my twins and Daddy planting these lovely flowers.

With Spring Comes Planting, Growing and Outsidepride.com

Spring is just around the corner. This means, the windows in our homes will once again be open, there will be spring cleaning and planting and growing all sorts of flowers and vegetables. In order to plant and grow your seeds, you will need a very important garden tool. This important tool would be an aerator. Owning and using lawn aerators are a must have tool for any and all gardeners, whether you are a beginner or advanced gardener.

In case you are not aware of what a lawn aerator does, it will, manually or mechanically, punch tiny holes in the soil. This is an important tool to own and use because these holes in your allow the soil, which might have been impacted during the winter months, breathe and allows for the roots to grow into the soil at a deeper rate.

These little holes allow the water being used on your garden to seep into the soil, instead of sitting on top of the soil. Some gardeners might not know about this trick which allows their garden to grow faster and lets the water disperse quicker into the soil and allow the seeds to grow as well.

It is a good idea to use a lawn aerator at least two times a year. There are various types and styles of lawn aerators. There are at least five types of aerators and a gardener can even use a liquid aerator. For those who are looking for another way to aerate the lawn, using a liquid aerator is another option.

Before spring comes around, it is a good idea to already have all your gardening tools available to you. Owing a lawn aerator is one gardening tool to always have on hand and ready to use.
