My first atempt at gardening


Here is my first attempt at growing a garden. I have been saving these seeds for almost two years in the anticipation of starting a garden so I can be self suffienct and not have to buy so much of my own food. I am really excited that I will have a place in my back yard that I can grow my own food. This is a new experience for me. I love growing plants but growing food is a little bit different. We shall see how it works.

Finally Home

I know it has been awhile since I wrote anything. I have had a nightmare the past year trying to buy my home. After almost a year, two different mortgage companies and numerous arguments I finally closed on my home in December of 2010. It feels really good to finally have that past me. I am still trying to get settled, I didn't realize how much stuff I had since most of it has been in storage for the last few years. The house is a little smaller than I would have liked but it was a good deal and came up at the right time. I am in the process of weeding out stuff I absolutely have to keep and stuff I don't need, which is not a fun or easy job (because I think I need to keep everything). Now that spring is near I am starting seeds to have a garden, I am so looking forward to having fresh vegetables and being mostly self sufficient. I will have pictures once I start growing.
