Growing Vegetables from Kitchen Scraps!

Just finished a new hub on Hubpages that I have been meaning to write for a while.  I discovered that some kitchen scraps that end up in my compost bin can actually be used to grow more plants and eventually more food!  An alternative approach to gardening!  Check it out here: Growing Vegetables from Kitchen Scraps!

Starting my vegetable Garden! 4/30/12

After a very warm start to the spring, temps have cooled down a bit, leaving the question of planting on every gardeners mind...my vegetable garden has been needing a lot of work lately so today I finally got some extra soil and dug up a small corner to start planting! Although it is too early for many vegetables in southern Connecticut, the unofficial planting date is May 15th, it is warm enough to plant some cold weather plants like broccoli and lettuce! In fact I started my broccoli from seed in a pot on my back deck and finally transplanted them into my garden today! (see photo below) I can't wait to plant more!
