 Over the past few days I have been working on planting a salad garden. My dear friend Mattuck built the raised bed for me,
and I'm really grateful for his help. I've never grown vegetables before! I'm very excited. Although I'm an avid perennial gardener-and I am passionate about digging in the dirt; this is all new to me. One thing I am certain about, when I garden I bump up against my perfectionistic tendencies. It's a wonderful practice to deal with weeds, things that eat the plants, too much/not enough whatever...I'm hoping for some yummy heirloom tomatoes. I'll keep you posted on that.

A raised bed! Good for you! I am from Colorado, and I live in a different zone, but keep at it, you will have a nice harvest.

I grew up on a horse farm on 70 acres. My parents and grandparents lived on the property, and we enjoyed gardening every summer. With a vegetable garden that covered about 1/2 the size of a football field, we grew a variety of vegetables, and even had an apple orchard and strawberry patch. What fond memories I have sneaking into the strawberry patch before dinner for a snack and shucking the corn. Enjoy Heidi! It's an amazing, and delicious experience!
