I am so happy that Spring has sprung recently! I would love to have a huge garden in my backyard somewhere full of every known flower, vegetable and fruit that you could grow. A garden full of marigolds, pansies, sunflowers, etc. Vegetables and fruits that would include of course tomatoes of all varieties, peas, potatoes, corn, lettuce, spinach, okra, squash, pumpkins, watermelon, canteloupe, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber and whatever else. It would be a green and bright happy place full of life!!

Unfortunately, I don't have that right now. I have two cherry tomato plants on the deck in pots, some marigolds planted under the oak tree in the front yard, and some more marigolds planted on the deck in a pot. I went back to Lowe's today and bought some seeds; peas, lettuce, spinach, and cosmos (a flower). I am going to try to plant some peas in a pot and also try the spinach and lettuces in a pot. I heard the lettuce in particular could be challening in a pot and the pot needs to be big enough of course.

I am super excited! Some people in my family aren't because they act like we could move very fast and I am wasting money. I disagree, the plants could go anywehre except for the marigolds under the tree because they are in pots. Plus, I am growing things to feed my family and save money, minded it is not much at all.

I know this is odd for a 26 year old male to be this into gardening and growing things. But I have this dream to be completely green and for everyone to do this the world will be a better place. People growing as much of thier own food as possible and sharing with others when needed, canning stuff to reduce our dependence on others and grocery stores, etc. I am all in favor of people using and taking their own reusable bags to the grocery stores and stopping the production of plastic and paper bags all together. For everyone to recycle and recycle everything that is possible to reduce our trash and for recycling companies to do what they say. To RECYCLE!

I'M ALL ABOUT GOING GREEN!

I know people love the big cities including me, but I think people in big cities can do a lot too. I am all about commuity gardening, rooftop gardening, having enough park spaces, trees, etc. to encourage everyone to be healthier and for cleaner air. I am all about looking and discovering alternative energy sources and wide use of public transportation that is clean, efficient, and comfortable.

Don't get me wrong, I like modern day conveniences and I am not looking to start my own hippie commune, but I think if everyone did thier part and we made time for ourselves and the earth we will all be happier.

I think Heaven is probably greener than we imagine. At least I hope it is~!
