I have been reading Brandy Simper's blog, The Prudent Homemaker, for years. She regularly feeds several kids and her husband from a garden that bountifully combines veggies, fruit and flowers...on little money and less water.
Brandy's growing things are beautifully kept -- and just plain beautiful. Now that our landscape is pretty much tan and/or white, all the colors and textures (not to mention the lemons and fresh greens) are a real encouragement to this color-starved Coloradoan.
Now YOU can visit Brandy's garden, and see how she does it!
She is opening her garden for a tour and class on March 9, in the morning. If you live in the Las Vegas area, or are planning on visiting during this time, it's a budget-priced chance to learn a LOT from an experienced gardener. Frankly, if we lived closer, I'd be there, too.
This page will tell you more. Brandy's Facebook page is also helpful. I love visiting her Instagram page, to see what's currently blooming and/or ready to pick.
Our frost dates are much longer than hers. but it gives me hope that even for us too, spring will come.
