I had a request to share what we’re growing in our garden this year, so here it is! Everything we’ve planted and hope to plant this year in our backyard.
Last year we had some big garden successes: strawberries, zucchini, tomatoes, and putting in a lot of perennial flowers and herbs that my mom gave us from her garden.

It’s that time of the year when I have too many zucchinis in my fridge, my kids are looking forward to back-to-school and we’re all reallyyyy tired of the hot, humid weather (which feels like living in a sauna).

Let it be known that I am not any kind of gardening professional or aspiring homesteader. I grew up with a mom who always had a veggie patch, worked in a greenhouse during college, and simply enjoy eating local food 🙂 Because let’s face it, no tomato from the grocery can ever compare to one picked five minutes ago in your garden!
I have a six-month-old, so, coffee… it’s been on my brain a lot lately. I don’t actually own any type of coffee maker at the moment. And you know what’s appealing when you’re short on time in the mornings? A Keurig or Nespresso machine. They were made for busy mums.
