MARTHA STEWART

Written by Fermin Washington

I upgraded our television package at directstartv.com. Now, I get to watch Martha Stewart during the day and boy have I been inspired! I just can’t believe how creative she is. My favorite things that she does are not in the kitchen, although I have cooked a lot of things that she shows on “Martha Speaks”. She is actually a really accomplished gardener. I have loved to garden ever since I was little. I remember my great grandmother having a beautiful flower garden. She loved to grow anything and everything. She was particularly proud of her roses. Now, when I garden, it brings back fond memories of her and the wonderful times that we spent on her farm as kids. I have done all types of new things in my garden that Martha has taught me. I made some really great tags for the garden out of recycled tin and have also painted a lot of the pots in the yard with black board paint. You can write on the pots with chalk. I usually name the flower or herb that is growing and make a mark if it had been watered that day or pruned. It is a good way to keep track of everything. Love Martha!
