new background

So I started a blog. I'm a planner. I like to organize and prioritize. Sounds kind of weird for a gardener, but hey, its who I am. I like dirt. I like starting things from seeds and help them become the greatness that is veggie! I spent countless hours/days/weeks/months preparing for my garden adventure. I read. I read seed catalogs, old books of my mother's, other gardeners' blogs, random websites about gardening basics, and magazines. With that said, I will forever be a beginner gardener/farmer. So, again, I started a blog. I'm going to share my gardening ups and downs, what worked for me and, of course, my epic failures. I love to share tricks and knowledge and experiences with people that I've learned over time. So please, read my blog and come over to my garden, and mostly, enjoy!

Backtracking and updating







My garden has come a long way from where it started and I want to share it's progress. Pictures are from the next addition of two more raised beds from 2008. My family made fun of me because I didn't plant that much of hardly anything and they said I wouldn't even get a dinner's worth of beans out of my plants. I called last year "practice" and plan on being able to can and freeze a considerable amount this year. :-)
P.S.
To those of you interested in growing banana peppers...one plant is enough to feed a small army. I swear I pulled off at least 100 peppers from two plants. Seriously, it was ridiculous. I had no clue. They ambushed me.
