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!

PRODUCTIVITY

Potatoes...planted
Shallots...planted
Spinach...doing well, thanks for asking

Lots going on these days in the garden. Hubby and I just planted a (sweetheart) cherry tree. I killed every single roma seedling I started. Built some new beds. Waiting on my chickens. What was that last one, you ask? Oh, the one before that one. Yeah. I killed them. Shocked and destroyed. Much like my hopes of canning those bright red ovals of spaghetti sauce happiness. It was a beautiful Spring morning. The romas were sitting innocently in their starter pods. I viciously grabbed some peat pots and potting soil, plopped each delicate seedling, pod-and-all, into the fresh dirt, horrifically watered them, and set them out in the sun to die. That's not exactly how that went down, but the end result was the same. Apparently after I set them outside after transplanting them, it got very windy. I'm guessing it was the equivalent of breaking some one's neck. They are gone. They were so healthy. It breaks my heart. Seriously. Now I have to BUY my seedlings and I'm a cheap-o. I'm really really giving it my best effort to start my plants from seeds. It just isn't working for me all that well. Grrr!
