Feb. 25 Column: Season Intro

Well, today is a happy day! My garden columns are starting up for the season. They run every Sunday in the “Today” section of The Spokesman-Review until early October. Today’s column is primarily a season intro, where I discuss why it’s so important to grow your own food and what I’m growing this year.

Here’s a link to it: Gardening brings joy all year.

As I mention in the column, my husband Bill and I have been feasting on goodies from our garden on a daily basis, all winter long. It’s so worth it to be able to grow fresh, healthy produce!

Last year, I paired each of my garden columns with a video and I fully intend to do that this year, too. The theme for 2017 and 2018 is “Everyone Can Grow A Garden” and in the videos, I will discuss what I wrote about in more detail, or show you a gardening technique, or give you a tour of an area of our garden, and so on. It should be a lot of fun.

So, without further ado, here is the first video of the 2018 garden season:

I hope you enjoyed it! And I’m looking forward to an enjoyable year of talking about our favorite subject: gardening.
