Greetings,

Happy Valentine's weekend! We had a little teaser of some warmer and sunny weather, but next week the cold returns. Joe's been busy getting his next video ready for you.

When we bought our house a number of years ago, there was no vegetable garden....but there was a lot of rocks, hahaha! Through a lot of time getting his hands dirty and also trying to save money, we created a very productive vegetable garden and would like to share our methods in hopes of helping others do the same.

Enjoy & hope it is useful to you and that you can share with other friends who have new gardens in their plans for this Spring.

Honoring Steve Stahl of S&K Wildflower Rescue Nursery:

We would like to take a moment to thank a member of our Gardening With Native Plants Facebook Group members for his service and passion for native plants and sharing that passion and knowledge with others. Joe & I do not know Steve personally, but we sure do appreciate his love of nature!

Steve shared yesterday in our group that he is now on hospice from ALS. If you would like to show some love for Steve's work on his Youtube Channel, you can check that out HERE. Let's flood his channel with love & support. Binge watch his beautiful videos and share them to spread his passion!

In addition, over the past few weeks he has shared some beautiful stories of memories from different points in his life and connection to nature. If you would like to read them, you can find them in the Facebook group by searching his name, Steve Stahl, and his posts will show for you. May we send peace and comfort to Steve and his family during this time.

Thank you for being part of the Growit Buildit community! Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Tara
