Go green, green thumb!

Green thumb, I don't have it but my grandma does. Back in the Philippines, I would often see grandma spend hours taking care of her garden. She grows a lot of flowers, vegetables, and fruit-bearing trees as well. But as for me, I wasn't into gardening really, not until I lived here in the States. We have a spacious yard and husband loves gardening. Every spring he cultivates the garden. We have tomatoes, peas, peppers, beans, strawberries, and my favorite the roses. Recently, I watched this 5-minute video on how to go green, gardening in organic way. It's very informative, I must say it's really very good. Organic gardening has many benefits, healthier plants, vegetables, fruits, safer pest control, no toxic residues, cleaner waterways, thus making our environment cleaner and fresher. Actually, our strawberries here are organic and some other vegetables too. Can't wait to harvest them, sure they taste way better! I told husband that I want to have organic roses as well, good thing Safer Brand has all the organic products and they are now available online. I want their rose and flower care kit, which controls rose pest like aphids and whiteflies. Oh, wish grandma can see my roses blooming here. I'll just send them pictures instead lol!
