I came home to my garden looking like this....
I think a neighborhood cat did it! =/
Now I have to re plant four of my plants. All of them were growing so well... I hope it doesn't happen again!

Gardening on a Budget
So I've talked about my home garden but I really didn't give information on how to purchase the necessary things for a home garden. If you have old planting pots at home they will be perfect for gardening, if not don't worry. Using house hold items like 2 litter soda bottles, large butter containers, or any other large plastic container are usable for a home garden. Make sure you wash out the containers before using them as part of your garden.
Purchasing seeds are just as cheap as buying a two litter bottle of soda. Home Depot, Wal Mart, Walgreen's, and other stores such as those to buy packs of seeds. I received my seeds from Ms. Kroeger so I did not pay for my seeds, but on the packages she let me use they were priced at $1.00 to $2.50 the most. There are plenty of seeds in the packages for more than just one planting season and for one pot. Follow the instruction of the back of the seeding package to help your garden sprout.
You should also be able to purchase a bag of soil at a Home Depot, Wal Mart, Malgreens or the same store you purchased your seeds at.
Simply fill your containers with a decent amount of soil, which will vary depending on what you are growing, and apply your seeds, which will also vary depending on what yo u are planting. Water your garden when necessary, and watch your garden grow.
*Different seasons are for different plants so refer back to my first post with a list of vegetables to grow depending on the season.

My home garden update/photos
These are photos of my home garden. My plants have grown quite a lot and way better than I imagined, I am a proud moma! The photos were taken on November 09, 2011. I will try to keep updates of my garden posted two times a month to show their growth. Hopefully you will begin a home garden to see what you can get to grow.

My home garden
For my home garden, I have decided to grow carrots, cabbage, buttermilk squash, pole peas, snow peas, and edible pole peas. Living in Arizona can make it hard on what foods to grow so I asked my epidemiology teacher and this resource to find out which plants are more likely to grow in the winter in Arizona. If you are interested in beginning your own home garden you should check it out...
