Try Your Green Thumb

Spring has come; it's a pity to waste the season not to try something new. Michelle Obama started it and now everybody seems to want a garden in their backyard. Sales on seeds and gardening tools are on an all time high. If you have a free time, why not try your green thumb too.

Don’t be scared, gardening is not rocket science really. Just don’t be afraid to put dirt under your finger – there are even gloves to prevent that from happening. Oh yeah, you've never sown not a single tomato seed before right? Don’t worry, see the label at the back of your seed pack, you should find instructions on how to grow them. Ask your local gardening store clerk for useful tips also, they should know almost everything you want to know about growing your garden.

If you don’t have a backyard to grow your greens, don’t worry you can still try the first lady's new hobby. Head straight to Lowe's gardening department and get yourself pots which you can position on your patio or roof top. Parsley, tomato, cilantro, mint, and low-growing flowers are just some of the many greens that thrive well in a pot.

Don’t waste the season and try a new hobby now. After all, nothing can be tastier than freshly picked greens from your own garden. You can be eating healthy and saving some money at the same time, what else could be better?
