Here in California we are fast approaching spring gardening season.  The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, there was a snake in my garage....(seriously there was)  We have been enjoying warm weather and some much needed rain. Maybe you are thinking, like me, when should I plant a garden?  What should I plant? What tools do I need? (Clearly I have no idea how to plant a garden.) :)  I did some searching on the internet and found some great tips to share with you all....

This first one was a great tip from HGTV
The next time you boil or steam vegetables, don't pour the water down the drain, use it to water potted patio plants, and you'll be amazed at how the plants respond to the "vegetable soup."

This Next one is super cool that my Dad actually sent to me.  It is from Bonnie Plants and it includes complete directions to build a 4 x 4 Salsa Garden!!!

The huffington post has some great ideas on planting.  I am not going to lie number four on this list would be really hard for me...
