Gardening with your Dog

When Miracle-Gro asked me if I might want to try out its new product Expand ‘n Gro™, I thought, I like gardening, but how can I blog about that? That has nothing to do with dogs at all! And then I thought, no, it isn't something I use to help care for my dog... but I wanted to step up and write a review anyway, because I like to promote everyday activities that you can do with your dog, and gardening is one!

I have so many chores to do in a day, but when I can do these tasks along with my dog, it's a lot more fun. That's why I like gardening with Kelly. Sometimes just having Kelly lying in the grass beside me is enough. Other times I make it more fun by taking breaks to throw her a tennis ball, tickling her with blades of grass or weeds, and splashing her or giving her a drink of water from the hose.

I also love to photograph Kelly in the garden, so making sure my plants are lush and full helps. I would use Miracle-Gro Expand 'n Gro concentrated planting mix on the flower bed alongside my driveway to help make those plants big and beautiful.

I learned that it works by expanding up to 3x when mixed with water and feeds my plants for up to 6 months. That sounds like a time-saver to me. And it's an easy way to prep my gardens for spring and summer. The package states you can yield up to three times the fruits and veggies, versus natural soil. I can't wait to show you pictures of Kelly beside lush, full petunia plants, or maybe tomato plants?!
