    In the part that we live in Ohio, we started our garden. The first challenge was to determine our USDA Plant Hardiness Zone. Which we found was Zone 5b -15°F to -10°F.  👍


With this information, it's essential for successful gardening, as it tells you which plants will grow well in your area.


     Each plant has its own rhythm, and you have to plant it at the right depth and distance. We learned a lot as we went along, and we found strategies to deal with pests, weather, and the occasional stubborn plant. 
    We have hopes that this year the garden will flourish with plenty of vegetables and fruits


    You see we already have an elderberry bush, a hazelnut tree that started last year with a single nut, next to our porch we have berries and hope to grow another fruit tree for this year! (we do understand that trees take time to grow fruit, this isn't our first time) 

    Indeed, our garden was more than a mere collection of plants; it was a symbol of their shared zeal, their resilience, and their reverence for nature.
