I’ve gotten a few books from the library on this. There is one in particular I am in love with. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t seem to be quite as excited about tearing up the yard for vegetables we could get for cheap from the grocery store. Hmph.
I do tend to “try” things, so I think that I will try some indoor gardening this year first. Grow seeds to plants and then, maybe be a pot (potted like planting in a pot) gardener for this year. That way, if I’m not into it next year, I won’t have destroyed the yard…further than the grubs have.
What I want:
onions
potatoes
broccoli
strawberries…vegetables, right?

Geez, I’ve been lazy on this one. However, I found Slate’s guide to gardening. http://www.slate.com/id/2164265/ What makes me sad (aside from the fact that it is winter and months from non-winter) is that I will have tear up part of my yard to get a garden. I want a garden, but I have a lot of shady areas near the fences of my yard. That means I will have to have a spot pretty much in the middle of the yard – so the plants will get sun. I should. I probably will. I just have to mourn my yard and celebrate less mowing.
*Plus I will steal someone else’s idea and make it an elevated garden so I won’t hurt my back when gardening – also making it harder for lowland critters like dogs to get in.

Monthly Paper
13 months ago
There is a monthly gardening paper for my area. I think I might start looking at that. Honestly I have no idea about planting things. I think I am able to start sprouts in the winter (indoors) to be ready for spring and such. I’m clueless and have too much to read to begin checking out gardening books at the library yet. I need small steps…
