Yesterday we enjoyed a fabulous day of gardening! We mapped out our 2012 garden beds, read a little bit about companion planting, and got our hands dirty. All the makings of a great day!
Here are some of our go-to books for gardening:
Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening by Louise Riotte
Rodale’s Illustrated Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening by Anna Kruger
The Backyard Homestead: Produce all the food you need on just a quarter acre! by Carleen Madigan
And if you are wondering about the girls’ sun dresses…I made them last summer from a pattern from Handmade Home by Amanda Blake Soule.
I hope all of you have a wonderful week!
Making of a Home 
These photos are so sweet! I love it when the whole family gets involved in the garden!
