Funny how some topics tend to pop up in abundance every once in a while. For me, the topic of gardening has been raised by more than a few people lately. Recently, I spoke with some friends in Scottsdale that have been growing vegetables, herbs etc in their back yard. With the rising price of fruits and vegetables, it seems like they are probably not alone. The reasons for gardening can be many. From saving a few bucks to enjoying a hobby to doing your part in "saving the earth." My uncle is president of a local gardening club so I occasionally get to talk to him about what the "green thumbed" people are up to. A few days ago, I read a post by my friend, Chuck Willman titled "How Does Your Garden Grow" where I was introduced to a web site called MyFolia. This site appears to have a ton of good information about gardening that might be of interest to a lot of people.
The most fun gardening story as of late is my three boy's and their new fascination with gardening. I have enclosed a short video of them sharing in the excitement of our new garden with grandma. You see, my oldest boy saw some corn seeds at a store with my wife. This set off a series of discussions which ended up with me taking him to Home Depot to buy some soil and plants for our new gardening experiment. You know, it has been fun. I don't have the greenest of thumbs but I do love to watch the boys play in the yard. Maybe the boys are already good at spotting new real estate trends.. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, you know :-)
One of the comments on Chuck's post mentioned that someone was surprised things would grow here. If anyone wants to give it a try, we have all kinds of great properties available in Tempe. There are some great, established neighborhoods with large, irrigated lots where you could have your own little "farm." If interested in Tempe real estate.. "Just Call Nick!"
