Gardening

As I write this my husband is tilling up our garden patch. I helped him a bit with raking and adding compost. We are hoping to have a larger garden this year. We usually have lots of peas, beans and tomatoes but I would love to have a few new vegetables like kale and broccoli. I have never grown either.

My eldest daughter is starting her first gardening adventure as I am starting my twelfth year with a vegetable garden. This year I am starting some things in pots ahead instead of buying them. I also used only organic seeds. We use no pesticides or commercial fertilizer, just compost and sheep manure. It is an exciting time of year to start growing things.

Hopefully I can post some pictures as my garden grows.
