Welcome!!

Hi All,

Welcome to my gardening blog.  This blog was created as an outlet for me to share and chronicle my joys and pains of gardening.  Even though this is year 2 of my gardening experience, I still consider myself a newbie. So I welcome and am open to any plant related advice that I can get. So feel free to comment and share.

Despite the name, gardening wasn't quite an accident. With the increase in food prices, gmo foods, and trying to live a healthier lifestyle, my boyfriend and wanted to do something different. Last year we started off  w/ tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, peppers (bell, scotch bonnet, ghost, trinidad scorpion, and some random peppers), strawberries, and blackberries. Don't for get the millions and millions of rose bushes and vines left by the previous owner of the house. Yeah, I know. It was a bit ambitious, but it was definitely a learning experience.

Now we're here at year 2. So far we are growing

• beets - same ones from last year. Don't judge me!
• Strawberries
• blackberries - hopefully
• herbs - basil, coriander, mint
• green onions
• cucumbers
• watermelon
• zucchini
• yellow squash
• butternut squash
• tomatoes - still haven't planted these yet
• Peppers - We like peppers!

We kind of got off to a late start this year. I had everything planned out. I even started my seedlings indoors in February. Everything had started sprouting and was looking good. I went out and bought one of those cheap greenhouses from big lots and one day and put my seedlings in it outside. lo and behold i looked out the window and the green house was blown over by the wind. I was devastated!! So we I am starting again.
