Gardening tips, garden-fresh recipes, summer skincare advice, and recipes that highlight the season's best produce and herbs.
Welcome the Last Month of Summer By Starting a Home Garden There's no better time than right now to begin a garden. You don't have to wait until next spring to start supplying yourself with your favorite kinds of fresh produce. Right now, you can take advantage of the plentiful sunlight and warm weather. And if you think you need a lot of space to garden, think again. Starting and cultivating your own garden right at home doesn't require a sprawling backyard or acres of land. In fact, you can start sprouting your favorite herbs, veggies, fruits and more even if all you have is a small patio, balcony, or room indoors. One of the best ways to start your garden? Grow your favorite, most-used herbs. It's easy to create a flourishing herb garden indoors or outdoors, and we've got all of the pro tips you need to start, care for and prune your plants once they start to grow. Another simple way to get a garden going is to turn food scraps into fresh plants. With the cuttings, pits and seeds of produce like onions, carrots, lettuce and avocados, you can begin to nurture a brand-new plant of your very own. Your garden doesn't necessarily have to wither with the arrival of cooler fall temps in a few months, either. You can keep growing fresh herbs and small, space-saving produce like green onions year-round. All you need is a windowsill, sunlight and a little TLC.
