Solution

Summer has sprung. The vernal equinox ushers in increased daylight, warmer days and sprouting flowers, plants and trees. This is the ideal time to build your own family garden.

Start small. Window boxes or containers can actually turn out to be rather luxurious gardens. Recycle clean bleach and milk containers. Cut off the tops and use them as planters. Be willing to put up with a less-than-perfect looking garden: crooked rows and weeds are okay. Can’t afford expensive gardening tools? No problem. Plastic spoons and shovels work well in window boxes.

Extremes add spice to your garden. So plant huge flowers, like sunflowers, and small vegetable plants, like cherry tomatoes. Plant fragrant flowers or herbs like lavender or pineapple mint.
