Family Gardening with Miracle-Gro Gro-ables

Spring is here and I’m looking forward to a beautiful and productive garden again this year. Gardening really is a great hobby, and if you really put forth the effort, it can provide you with delicious, fresh food all year round. All 4 of my children spend a lot of time with me in our garden. It’s a great opportunity to bond, learn about nature and get creative with your kiddos every single day. It’s so fun too! We have several raised beds and plant all sorts of delicious vegetables from Spring until Fall. Although the skies are sunny and the temperatures are in the 60’s today, unfortunately there are snowflakes in our local forecast this weekend. No worries though- we’re starting our family gardening this year rain (snow) or shine indoors with Miracle-Gro Gro-ables! Miracle-Gro Gro-ables are an easy, less messy way to start gardening. They are great for beginners and even experienced gardeners. You simply plant, water, and watch the seed pod grow! They come in several different varieties, so you can even let your children pick their favorite! I love that they are guaranteed to grow! There’s something magical, even when you’re an adult about watching a seed grow into a beautiful plant and then being able to eat and enjoy what it produces. As a matter of fact, during some garden prep this past weekend, I noticed there were some carrots in one of the beds that I forgot to pull in the late Fall. All of my children (ages 5-12) were so excited to pull them out and eat them right away with dinner that night. They were so proud of themselves!
Growing your own fruits and vegetables is so rewarding. Everyone always wants to taste those fresh fruits & veggies after they’ve worked so hard caring for them all season! Nothing tastes better than fresh farm to table! Consider starting your own Gro-ables Project today! Tip: To make your family gardening a little more special this season, consider purchasing your children their own gardening gloves. Not only are they adorable, but they really do make gardening a little easier, especially when it’s time to pull weeds! My youngest daughter loves to put on her special gardening gloves and get working! She was really excited to help me plant this week because she only goes to school for 1/2 a day. It’s nice to have a little special one on one time with her too. To get started with the Miracle-Gro Gro-ables, I purchased a few pretty ceramic pots (the one’s that have a built in tray for convenience) that I could keep on my large kitchen window sill. We lightly filled the pots with good potting mix and placed the seed pods into the mix until the tops were level with it. There are also easy to follow direction under each label. We chose to plant 3 different varieties of tomatoes, 1 in each small planter and 3 pepper Gro-ables in the smaller separate planters as well. These need to be started indoors anyways and then they can be transplanted to the garden in 6 weeks. In our large planter, we planted herbs next to each other. This fragrant herb garden is going to be just beautiful to have in our kitchen this summer! After watering daily for 1-2 weeks your seeds will finally sprout! Several months after we’ve planted these, flowers will soon begin to appear which means fruit will be close at hand! Yum! How exciting! Make gardening a priority for your family this year!
