Whether you have forty acres or a pot on your back deck, country gardening is all about the simplicity of nature, the satisfaction of physical labor, and the soul-comforting pleasure of creating something beautiful out of seeds and dirt. Enjoy the ideas and tips here for your own earthly delights, and let me know how your garden grows!
