    Learn how to make a garden themed Easter basket for the gardener in your life.

    My husband, the wannabe farmer, loves growing all of his plants from seed. Ryan has a natural green thumb. He says a true "horticulturalist" is one that can grow their harvest from SEED.  

    When the warmer gets a little warmer outside, my dining room table becomes this:

    While he's trying to prove a point about his skills, I'm off wondering where we will be eating dinner. Don't worry, we have a kitchen island for the kids!

    The week before Easter is a GREAT time to start sweet potatoes. Which means that its an awesome gift for your gardener along with their Easter basket and trying your hand at being a green thumb!

    Starting a Sweet Potato for Your Gardener

    1. Put three toothpicks in a sweet potato.
    2. Stick the sweet potato in a glass of water, with the toothpicks holding it inside the glass.
    3. Constantly keep water on it. It will take 1-2 weeks to sprout.
    4. Once you get root growth, plant it in good potting soil in a separate pot.
    3. Give it to your gardener for Easter!
