Real Estate News, Etc.

With the weather starting to change to spring, our family got out and planted our vegetable garden last week, just ahead of Saturday's rain event (2.5 inches at our house).  We just bought our home last fall, and this is the first garden we have planted in Tennessee.  The plot had been tilled before, but overgrown with grasses, so had to do several passes with the tiller.

If you are interested in a garden at your present home or if you are moving, and are planning a garden area, we have several resources available for gardening in the middle Tennessee area.  The Rutherford County Extension Service, located at the Lane Agri-Park, 315 John Rice Blvd, Murfreesboro, and associated Master Gardeners Program, offer classes and programs for the novice through experienced gardeners.  

Check out the websites:

Also, the Rutherford County Farmers Market will open on May 14, and open twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays from 6am - 11am, also at the John Rice location.

Getting started in gardening doesn't necessarily require a large plot of ground or significant time, but can be a very rewarding activity, "just checking" how the plants are doing after a busy day at work.
