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!

Oh how I miss thee

Blogger, oh blogger, how do I love thee....let me count the ways. Venting and planning. Troubleshooting and victories. Sharing and caring. Its getting to be my favorite time of year. I love pumpkins and Fall colors. I love hot cider and yarn. Oh the yarn. I could roll around in yarn like a cat when its cold outside. Nothing feels better in my hands than a nice worsted weight wool or alpaca blend. I've been so busy with this new house that I have barely knitted all Summer. I'm ready for a short break from remodeling to get back to my favorite Fall activities. Knitting and GARDEN PLANNING!!!  Planning my garden through the Fall and Winter months is almost as exciting as my first shovel of fresh dirt in the Spring. This next year is going to be a whopper of a chore though. I am starting from scratch. We have started clearing out the yard of the half acre of DITCH LILIES!! This yard is ridiculously overgrown with lilies and other wild plants. I'm hoping that by December I will have a blank canvas and a few raised beds started. Who knows, with the way the weather has been, I may just go ahead and start my Spring planting!  I don't think Winter showed up but maybe for a week or two last year. I tell you what though, the SECOND a seed catalog shows up in my mailbox, there will be seeds. Beautiful packets of seeds. Hidden about the house in random places. Stashed like a shoe addict hides a recent binge purchases from Broadway Shoes. I was so terrible last year, that as I was packing to move I found a few extras that were somehow forgotten. I'll be smarter this year...
