Starting your own garden is much easier than you might think.

You don’t have to dive in head first and attempt to grow all of your own food. Having even a small container garden with easy to grow herbs is incredibly rewarding!

It’s supposed to be a relatively pleasant weekend for most of the U.S., so check out these easy and fun gardening ideas. Any of them would make great projects for the weekend.

Right now is the time to be planting your cold and frost hearty plants.

Think salads. Any type of lettuce or root vegetable like broccoli, carrots, onions, and potatoes can get in the ground now.

What do you do if you’d like to test out your green thumb but have no desire to grow your own herbs or veggies?

Plant a garden or some flowers somewhere else.

That’s called guerrilla gardening, and we’ve got some great ideas for that too.

 

5 Fun and Easy Gardening Ideas

 

Gardening at Home:

1.  Re-Nest shows you how to grow strawberries (or anything, for that matter) in a window box

2.  Planet Green has an awesome idea to make your garden planting easier…make your own seed mats!

3.  Build your own container garden out of shipping pallets. I did this last year for my first garden.

 

Guerrilla Gardening:

4.  Are potholes plaguing your neighborhood or street? Plant a mini guerrilla garden in them. It may even help slow down traffic in residential areas too.

5.  You can beautify almost any empty space with a mini garden. Check out Inhabitat’s idea for using existing posters that cover many urban walls and street posts as containers to get all guerrilla on.

 

What’s your favorite idea for simple gardening projects?

I think every little step toward living green is an awesome one… but eco-snobbery sucks! My goal is to help newbies learn the most important steps toward living green — individually and collectively. Personally, I strive to have as little impact as possible on Planet Earth while I'm here.

JoshuaAs an advocate for good health, I usually try to choose the 'greener' option over other more dangerous and/or wasteful options. Generally, if it's bad for your health or the planet, I try to avoid it. In my effort to live green... on a budget, I like to find new (healthier) budget-friendly ways to do things -- from eating and cleaning to recycling and home decorating. My goal is to help you take the chore out of living green by sharing fun new ecofriendly ideas that you can try today... or any day! My all-time favorite way to live green is to repurpose items and give them a new use -- I've written a lot of useful DIY articles.

LynnetteMy experience with living green consists of taking baby steps (like making one big change each year as my New Year's resolution) -- because I've seen too many people burn out on trying to 'Save the Planet'. I share a lot of Simple Ways To Go Green, as I find new and successful strategies that have worked for me. While I'm baby-stepping my ecofriendly habits in life, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
