I’m busy preparing and reconfiguring the garden beds at the Home &  Family show for the warm season vegetable garden crops.

By this, I mean I designed the garden, picked up the plants, delivered them and am now reshaping the garden beds so we can fit in all our vegetables!

New this season is corn!
I’m planting a few block of “Silver Queen,” a delicious and popular variety of “su” corn.

We should have some corn in about 92 days!

 

I’ll be presenting on “How to Grow Your First Backyard Corn Crop” on Friday, April 25, on the Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family Show.

I visited the Bonnie Plants growing grounds in Oxnard, California, a few days ago, where they generously provided our vegetable plants.

It was one of the few times that I towed a trailer to my truck and it was nerve-wracking driving downhill with a bunch of giant semi trucks behind me.

Oh, adventure!

When I got to the Home & Family house, a bunch of crew members helped me unload the plants.

Thank you to Bonnie Plants for providing all of our vegetable and herb plants for our kitchen garden!

 

Enjoy some behind the scenes photos!

I love being surrounded by plants, especially edible plants!

I’m organizing my vegetable plants by the variety of vegetable and by the size to which they will grow.
