No Ordinary Gardenary

 

Another growing season is bursting with life, once again, our hearts are completely in it, with a sincere commitment and all-natural approach. Bountiful harvests and some truly outstanding salads, salsa, jams, relishes, pickled peppers, pie fillings are the goal!

🌱

My husband Mike aka Mr. Green Jeans has such a commanding green thumb that the plants practically salute when he walks by. He doesn’t just grow things, he creates magical spaces where everyone wants to sit, relax, and soak it all in. I’m so grateful for his vision!

🌱

To me, nurturing a home garden feels similar to running a thriving business. You’ve got to water on schedule, feed them essential nutrients so they may thrive, then pull weeds before they stage a takeover. Consistency and follow-through are everything.

🌱

Our tomato lineup this year is glorious: Roma, cherry, heirloom, beefsteak, and grape tomatoes. We tend to be a bit fanatical when it comes to those juicy orbs! We’re also growing zucchini, collard greens, peppers in every color, strawberries, grapes, and muscadine variety. 

🌱

And then we grow herbs! Fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, onion chives, garlic, parsley, basil, and oregano are literally just a pinch away from garden to table. Pure herb convenience at its finest. Growing anything worthwhile takes real love and energy, but so worth it. 

🌱

We keep what we can eat and share the abundance with family and friends They enjoy the results of our labor and are grateful! If you’re ever able to see Nerdin Gardens in person, you’ll understand why it’s no ordinary gardenary!

 

Guaranteed.

Hello Wanda, the “Pull the weeds before they take over” might be the best line here—it applies to so many things beyond gardening too. Beautifully said.

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! This may also apply to people 🤓 All kidding aside, I live in a small condo near a river and woods, so no growing veggies outside because of wild animals. I am a bit jealous as I love fresh tomatoes. This year started growing under lights indoors, but the only herbs so far that survived from seeds were basil and cilantro -- You are a lucky lady

I’m so excited to get my hands in the dirt. My seeds may be slow to grow, but I’m confident they’ll turn out just fine!

Maintaining a garden that feeds you means you can't Let It Go or it will fail, same for our business, Lise Howe!

We bought a deer repeller that emits a sound that scares them and other creatures away, Hannah Williams. About 6 weeks ago, a deer was bedding down in the garden, that's a NO-GO, we turned it on and so far, sweet success! 🤞

HI Wanda- you know how much I love Nerdin Gardens.  Mike is an artist when it comes to landscaping and gardening. I can't wait to see what fun things you'll make this summer with your harvest of Nerdin Gardens.

I've known why Nerdin Gardens is so special. But I never heard your husband referred to as Mt. Green Jeans nut it's quote appropriate!

Love it! We don't grow nearly as many things, and our season is way behind (and shorter) than yours, but there is something so satisfying and delicious about biting into something you grow. Yum.

Hi Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! , what a great garden! I love how you built the raised bed with the blocks. My garden is doing fine now, there are tomatoes, peppers, and a few water melons growing, but I would love to make it a bit larger next year.

The soil is better controlled with above ground gardening, Steffy Hristova and helps prevent burrowing pests to attack from below as well! Growing our own food is so satisfying.
