I am created this blog to share my gardens! My partner and I purchased our first home and it came with a ton of perennial flowers and shrubs. It has also given me the space to have a vegetable garden! Growing up my family had a few veggie gardens but this was nearly 15 years ago! I want to grow healthy food for my family and revive the already established gardens around my house. I want to share what I learn and discover!

Starting Seeds ...Goals
So I am staring seeds indoors! Already in February! I am in growing zone 5A! According to me research and calculations with a last possible frost date being around May 15 this is my schedule! Start broccoli and cabbage(and any other cool weather veggie in the mustard family) February 12, tomatoes March 24, peppers March 17, marigold March 10, cucumbers and melons April 28! I have an I the dirt schedule I am still working on! All stared indoors. Its kinda crazy really I have goals of growing all the veggies my family will eat in a year I think the spirit of the homes past is lurking.. 52 cans of each! I am totally serious and putting out feelers to on canning jars! I am planning on freezing a lot this year until I get jars and I prefer the taste of frozen vegetables. I will can jelly, pickles, and maybe some dilly beans! I have a raspberry patch I did some work on in the fall I will blog more on that in the future.
