ok, so I would LOVE it if you would give me any gardening info that you know. :) We do a Garden every year, but our neighbors always looks WAY better! I am sure a lot of it has to do with the fact we are gone a lot in the summer, and so if it's dry, the garden doesn't get watered or weeded, ect. Gotta try better this year. :) Every year we learn something new though. We kind of do it with trial and error, but we love having a garden!
