Spring 2013

Ok, I am aware that it has been 3 years since my last post, but lately I've been getting pressure to resurrect my blog (you know who you are, Vanessa!)  This year I'm trying square foot gardening for the first time, and I'll keep you posted regarding my success (or lack of success.)

I'm going to branch out from just talking about tomatoes, but I will post about them a fair bit, as Mom has 20 varieties started for me.  I also want to save seeds from my favourite tomatoes this year.  Some of my gardening goals for this year are building a pergola for growing hardy kiwis, and moving my strawberries into a raised planter to hopefully help eliminate problems with bindweed.  Bindweed grows a little too well in my yard, especially in my strawberry bed.  

So far this year, I have some cool weather veggies in, and my peas, radishes, mixed salad greens, onions and pac choi are up.  I'm hoping to be eating homegrown salad within a week or two!  I'll pick a topic and go into more detail in my next post.  While you're waiting, get outside, dig in the dirt, and plant something!
