I'm NO farmer! Nor am I some great gardening pro. I have to admit that I'm a newbie at gardening. I've only had a vegetable garden once, and that was in south Georgia. We slaved all summer long with days of record highs, we worked so hard and then... there was a flood. I'm not talking a few inches of water. I'm talking Kmart was submerged! But our beans did well. Oh boy! I decided right then and there that was the LAST time I'd ever do that!

Now, here I am ready to take a shot at it again. There have been some changes. One, we don't live in the south anymore. Two, we don't have a community garden like we did in Georgia. That was a real pain. Just to work in the garden for a few minutes you had to load a U-haul!

I'm now lucky enough to live in a house that has my garden in my backyard.
