Welcome to Get in the Garden, a blog devoted to a love of all things garden and home. For me gardening isn’t a state of mind, it’s a way of life. I love everything about it. The joy of watching seeds sprout, the challenge of nurturing seedlings into mature plants, and the blessing of every harvest. There’s peace inside the garden gate inspired by God’s creation and the changing seasons. There’s always something new and amazing to see.
This blog is dedicated to my family and friends who have encouraged me over and over to “try it and see what happens”. Thanks to my hubby who is my tech guru, and my brother who is my partner-in-growing even though we are two states apart. Thanks to all of my dear, sweet, wonderful friends who have brought people to see the gardens, and have lovingly teased me through the years about my “abilities” and “addictions” in all things home and garden. You’ve called me farmer, homesteader and a few of you even refer to me as “Martha”, I cherish each title and the people that gave them. Most of all I thank God, who’s blessed me not only with gifts of family, friends and gardens; but the honor of tending His creation and the ability to enjoy it.
Come along as I share my love of all things gardening always with a look ahead to the next planting season. It all started 14 years ago with heirloom seeds and grew from there! I’ll share updates and articles as well as favorite books, recipes and projects for garden and home. You’ll also get a good look at my day-today adventures of being a wife, mom to four kids and zookeeper to three pets. It gets a little crazy here sometimes, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
