I love getting out and working in the yard this time of year. Don’t you? I just planted an outdoor herb garden and am excited to use my fresh herbs in my recipes in the coming months. While looking for tips to harvest the herbs, I came across some great Gardening Tips and Hacks and thought I would share them here with you! So many great ideas!
I will be sharing my little outdoor herb garden here soon…but in the meantime, here are some tips for you if you are planning on planting a garden this summer!

So many great ideas! We have a little community garden with my parents and by “we” I really mean my Dad. I’ll definitely be passing these tips and tricks along to him – and pinning them too. Thanks, Amy!
