April: National Garden Month

Did you know it's National Garden Month?  I love me a good, obscure holiday.  I thought I'd share two of my favorite gardening [plus a whole lotta other neato stuff] blogs that I frequent to celebrate.

The first:

I don't remember when I first stumbled upon Crackers, but when I read the caption underneath, I thought, yes!, that's exactly what I did one day when I decided to make graham crackers.  They had me hooked.  At Crackers, you get to go on field trips, 

like seed shopping, 

or to a nearby farm to learn more about cattle and growing one's own milk supply.

Melanie and Jesse are the two bus drivers of said field trips that include beautiful photos, informational words and sources, and general love of all things natural.

They even sometimes slip in culinary tips.

You don't just get crackers, it's always a feast when you visit.

The second blog was just recently started by my sister, Jordan, called Sweat Bread: Getting Hands Dirty in Soil and Supper.

She takes you on adventures in cooking and gardening as well at her Cicada Cottage.

She includes her very own egg producing pets,

scrumptious recipes that call for straight-from-the-garden-so-fresh-they-still-have-bugs-crawling-on-them ingredients,

and the fruits of her green thumb.

And I'm not biased, okay, maybe just a pinch, but I wish she cooked for me.  Every night.

What are your favorite gardening blogs?

PS I've got a fun giveaway coming up on Monday you won't want to miss.
