Summer is one of my favorite season of the year where my family and I can do a lot of activities outdoors. My husband and I love gardening; we plant flower plants, vegetables and fruit trees. Back in Texas where we came from, we have gardens both in front of the house and in the backyard. We grew vegetables like tomatoes, green peppers, jalapeno, okra, string beans, bitter gourd and herbal plants like rosemary, sage, parsely and Chives. My husband also planted fruit trees like plum, fig, grapes, pear and peach. We really enjoyed the fruits of our labors and even saved some money.
Anyway, have you heard about Project Orange Thumb grant? If so, are you into community gardening? Let me tell you a little bit about this project. The 2009 Fiskars Project Orange Thumb grant will be choosing twenty recipients from United States and Canada where each will receive up to $1000 green goods and up to $1500 Fiskars gardening tools. This is a community gardening grant program and that means everyone is welcome to join the contest. This must be done by a group who are interested in starting up a garden or enhancing an already existing one in their community. So if you are single, you need to form a group because you can not do it by yourself. It must to be a group endeavor.

Attention all gardeners: If you want to share your love of nature check this out. My daughter is growing a REAL plant that MOVES when you Tickle it! It's call the TickleMe Plant. This is NOT a joke. The leaves quickly fold and even the branches MOVE when Tickled. It even produces pretty pink cotton candy like flowers. I found it at http://www;ticklemeplant.com
Sounds interesting, The Plant Man :-); I will check the website out!
