Raise your hand if you are growing-something-green challenged! Imagining the show of hands…alas, I don’t feel so lonely anymore. As I pulled together my patio garden this year, I was determined to meet my personal challenge head on! This year I had the time, this year I was going to give the garden my full attention.
Each morning I wake, grab a cup of caffeine-laced java and head out to my porch. I love the greeting I’ve been blessed with this year – green and lovely plants bursting with blossoms. Truly believe it’s my new mindset that has me anxiously waiting for the harvesting that includes sugar snap peas, cucs, banana peppers and more.
My container garden, this year, is small scale to what steveffeo writes about in Start a profitable Gardening business. Yet…I’m intrigued because with intention, some lessons and a serious tilling of the soil, my simple container gardening could be so much more. I envision, with Steve's enthusiasm, an opportunity to sell and share my garden gifts.
If you have not had the good fortune of landing on one of Steve’s gardening pages on Squidoo and beyond I’m telling you now it’s a real treat, a gardener’s haven of information. This guy loves gardening and it shows! In fact, if we met in person I bet he would have two bright green thumbs.
A seed was planted when I read Start a profitable Gardening business back in October of 2007, now it fuels me. What I really appreciate the most about this article is that it speaks to all kinds of gardeners – expert to novice – encourages you to run with the ideas while creating your garden, feed your family and others less fortunate, visualize your efforts turning into a business, plus much, much more. It’s not far out of reach now that I know it’s in me to grow something green! How about you?

Correen, I sometimes imagine having a little garden business. A simpler life, working the land, selling to folks that drive by... Steve's lens is a wonderful resource. :)
ReplyDeleteCorreen, I'm just growing basil right now, so you're way ahead of me. It sounds like it is very satisfying seeing that green grow. Steve's lens is a fantastic example of someone sharing their expertise. He is one interesting lensmaster with his ChangetheWorld U.
ReplyDeleteI've got a patio garden too and I've had some unexpected success and some disappointments with it, but overall it has been a lot of fun! For only a little effort, too. Look forward to taking some tips from Steve even if I never turn this little hobby to profit.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring lens! I love it! Thank you for directing us to this awesome resource.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote a wonderful review too. I can just imagine you walking around your plants with your cup of java in hand. It is a rewarding and wonderful experience to watch your own plants grow.
