I have a Cabbage Ball!

Check out our fun video here which shows how easy it is to garden, and demonstrates why I'm not a musician.  Enjoy!

This was one of my first experiences recording a voice-over; I liked the way it turned out and, some people think it's funny!

Most of the people like the part of "and you could be the hero, like BobbydeNiro!

Which part did you like?

I did another one after this-and everyone likes this, original one.  It shows the steps in gardening: gathering seeds, some soil, watering-and letting the sun do the real work.

The amazing part of gardening, as itself the miracle of life, is that organisms grow old without personal involvement; I don't know if that's thanks to God, nature, or ? but it is, nevertheless, fascinating.

Enjoy growing with us!

Hi SPROUTS Fans& Fanatics!

Just a quick note to let you know that our first video has been posted and our second installment will follow shortly. Our first video is primarily informational with a focus on four alternative garden options: container, square foot, hay bale and roof top. Each of these four have their benefits and specific appeal and work well in suburban or urban settings.

I had very high hopes to start my first hay bale garden this year but I will be hosting my first graduation party in my backyard in late June so I have opted for the container variety on my patio. Currently I have tomatoes and a variety of peppers and herbs growing as well as a large pot with pumpkin sprouts just beginning to peek out of the dirt. This is my second year with container pumpkins. I ended up with three successful vines last season and my kids had a blast choosing their jack-o-lanterns right from their own yard. (One note about growing pumpkins like this, the vines grow way outside the pot and like to take over a portion of the yard but fortunately they are quite easily redirected.)

Again, please take a moment to check out the video and think about starting your own personal gardening space by trying one, or even a combination of the four that are highlighted.

Take care & enjoy great gardening!

Good use of veggies from your garden: toppings to a main course

Step 1: Chop your tomatoes and onions.  Mix with baby spinach.

Step 2: Add over your favorite fish/pork chop/steak/veggie burger, or whatever.

Step 3: Garnish with lemon/lime/orange wedges.

Step 4: Snap a picture and, enjoy!

Which brings us to one of the main points regarding gardening: it's all about the food!  What would vegetables be without a way to eat them?  What would wheat grass be without a way to make a smoothie out of them?

You don't have to be a chef in order to cook a great meal!  Before you contradict me, tell me when you followed a recipe in detail, and yet your dish did not turn out!

All we have to do is, go from believing to doing-start digging!  (I'm sure they have a term for that!)
