If you don’t already know Stacey, she was an engineer and an architect with a busy job and a long commute. It frustrated her that she could manage complex projects at work, but a vegetable & herb garden seemed impossible to fit into everyday life.
In 2009, she was taught techniques for growing tons of organic vegetables and herbs in a small space with not a lot of effort. Since then, she has been obsessed with helping people create good garden habits that fit into their busy schedule and most importantly fit their personality. Grow Your Own Vegetables began as an idea with her fellow students and gardeners to show how shockingly simple it CAN be. It’s their mission to support one million beginning gardeners to cultivate successful vegetable and herb gardens so that you, too, can enjoy a grocery aisle right in your own yard (or even inside your house)!
Listen in for:
► The carrot that brought Stacey back to her gardening roots (Timestamp: 04:01)
► How Stacey began gardening when she lived in a small apartment in a major metropolis (05:10)
► What’s important to remember if you’re just getting started with gardening? (Timestamp: 26:48)
Here is one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation:
“[The Joyful Gardener] docuseries at its heart is about the joy, the surprise and wonder of discovering food again, of your connection with the plants, seeing the wellness and abundance of nature and knowing that you're taken care of, that these plants are here to care for you and the nourishment and the nurturing that the plants do for you in the process.” (Timestamp: 23:55)
I hope you’ll come away feeling as inspired as I was by everything Stacey shared!

Garden to Table Inspirations| Lettuce Harvest and Taco Salad Recipe
Welcome Back Everyone! Here is my fist my Garden To Table Inspirations:
Garden Fresh Taco Salad
The recipe includes fresh red romaine lettuce, ground beef, black beans, cheese, corn, tomato, onion, cilantro, avocado, salsa, sour cream, ranch, taco seasoning and key lime. Sometimes I like to add tortilla chips and black olives.
One of my most satisfying moments in life is when I harvest food from my garden and put it on the table for my family to eat. We never take a meal for granted and always thank God for the food he provides us each day. Our family appreciates where our food comes from and the time and effort it takes to come into our kitchen. Hope you enjoyed my quick video.
