Gardening season is here!
The LDS church has published some basic information about getting started in gardening. It can be found at this website: www.providentliving.org
Look on the left side of the web page for a link to "Gardening"
Once there, you will find links for information about these topics:
Planning a garden
Gardening in containers
Recipes using garden produce
Links to gardening websites
Also, you can find information about a television series called "Home Grown." It is about gardening and is produced by BYU broadcasting.
If you are interested in planting a garden this year, that website is a good place for information to get started. Also, look in the archives of this blog for last year's posts on gardening.

The Time to Begin is Now
"The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah."--Ezra Taft Benson, Prophet and President, LDS church 1985-1994 (Quote from October 198o conference talk)
This new [home food storage] program is within everyone's grasp. The first step is to begin. The second is to continue. It doesn't matter how fast we get there so much as that we begin and continue according to our abilities."--Bishop H. David Burton,Presiding Bishop, LDS Church
"This new approach asks us to do the best we can, even if all we can do is set aside a can or two each week. If the prophet asks us to do something, we can find a way to fulfill the commandment and receive the blessings."--Dennis Lifferth, Managing Director, LDS Church Welfare Services
"Perhaps if we didn't think in terms of a year's supply of what we ordinarily would use, and think more in terms of what it would take to keep us alive in case we didn't have anything else to eat, the last would be very easy to put in storage for a year."
--President Harold B. Lee, Prophet and President, LDS Church 1972-1973 (Quote from October 1966 Welfare Conference talk)
