Grow a Garden of Green
Growing a small garden is so much fun. It can be in your yard or in a pot on your deck and always a sunny spot is best. Don’t worry about getting dirty. Don’t worry about getting wet. Don’t worry about getting the rows straight or every weed pulled out. Instead, think about how delicious your garden greens will taste when it’s time for dinner.
Garden Month
The spring is a perfect time to celebrate Garden Month and also a perfect time to plant. Here are 5 easy steps to get started:
- Go to the plant store or seed store.
- Pick out a few plants or seed packets.
- Plant your greens in the garden or terracotta pot.
- Keep an eye on your garden every few days – or every day – to enjoy the growing process.
- Get out your kitchen scissors and cut the greens you want for dinner.
Greens for Dinner
- Lettuce
- Kale
- Arugula
- Radicchio
- Spinach
- Dandelion greens
- Swiss chard
Green is Inspiring
Growing a garden of green is a fantastic way to get more in touch with good nutrition. Why? Because when you grow your own green vegetables, then you will appreciate their flavors even more. So, get your garden planted right away. Before you know it, you’ll be making a home-grown lettuce salad for lunch or sauteed greens for dinner. And they will taste better than you’ve ever had before.

Which greens will you plant in your garden?
I would love to grow my own organic vegetable garden someday. It’s not only healthy for the entire family but also saves you money on your grocery bill =) Thanks for these suggestions.
Thank you for commenting, Marianela! With a sunny patch of garden space, you can start growing a vegetable garden. For example, I grow 6-8 fresh herbs and they are so wonderful to use in my kitchen all summer long. Good luck!
