It's that time of year again! Depending on which part of the country or world you live, it's time to start thinking, planting or growing your kitchen garden this year! Even if you have never put a seed in the soil, this might be a good year to start. With the current global situaion, growing our own food, even if its just sprouting will give us all a hedge against inflation and keep our families nourished in the coming months. Today I am here to share my 2022 garden seed haul with you. With the exception of a couple other varieties, these are the items we are planning to grow. We will be starting at least six of each seed and will definitely plant out at least two or three and share the rest with other like minded friends if they desire. These are all relatively easy to grow and definitely delicious! Gardening can be very rewarding if you learn as you go and don't bite off more than you can chew. This isn't my first rodeo and have been gardening off and on for many years. I hope this encourages you to have a look, take a peek and get inspired to start your own. Whether its a potted tomato or a row garden, start thinking now and get growing! Many of you who have been following along on the channel for a number of years know that we have had some amazing gardens since we started. Then we didn't share as much. There were a few years when we just didn't do it. Then 2020 and all the stuff that came with it caused us to rethink our garden. That year we planted a deck garden using grow bags and sterile potting mix. We had a great yield and it afforded me the opportunity to put a little more fresh produce on the table during a very questionable time. Last year we did not have a garden at all, relying or local farmers for our produce due to my surgery which I am, believe it or not, still healing from in one way or another. So I have some accesibility issues that I am still dealing with but I am not letting that stop me. We plan on doing a large deck and patio garden this year, using grow bags, grow towers and kiddie pools. I hope that it is as successful as I envision. We will be doing garden videos once a week from here on out through the season, sharing our new equipment, starting seeds, hardening off, planting and fertilizing and all the tips and tricks we have learned along the way to help you have a success in your own garden, deck garden or patio garden journey. The first thing you need to start a garden is seeds. Seeds turn into plants, plants produce fruits and veggies and they are the most economical way to start a garden. Today I am sharing my seed haul from Baker Creek Hierloom Seed company. They have not sponsored this video and I purchased everything you see with my own money.

The girls and I spend Saturday together and had a girls day pulling a big shop to restock the freezer and pantry before Thanksgiving. We had the opportunity to go to a new store near the commissary called Lidl. It is a German based store, kind of like Aldi that is just starting to open up in the states. We really enjoyed our trip and thought we would share some of our goodies with you. The holiday season is approaching so all the seasonal items are available and that just makes shopping fun. Not to mention their great prices on both house and brand names. I was really kind of blown away! I hope you enjoy this grocery haul from Lidl and if you live on the eastern seaboard, look for one coming to a town near you! Between Lidl and Aldi I think you could really do your shopping on a serious budget! Give it a try and let me know if you have one that you have visited and what you think. On a side note, we did not really enjoy the orange chicken. So be warned. It has a very heavy star anise flavor and it is just over powering. You can't win them all!
