For me, change is a process. I tend to think about something for a long time before I actually try it.
This has been the case with planting my own garden. For over a year now I have thought about, talked about it and even coveted others gardens...but no more. It is time to move on with planning and doing. I have decided that this is the year!
Since this is my first garden, I don't have seeds of my own to start with. So, when my niece showed up selling the local farmer's market seeds via a fund-raiser flyer, I jumped at the opportunity purchase herb and vegetable seed packets. Thanks to Cassidy, I am not only one step closer to harvesting my own vegetables but I have also supported two great causes...with just one transaction.
As the planting and growing season progresses I plan to post about it here. Will you follow along?

I am SO excited for you!!! I knew you'd make the move EVENTUALLY ;) It will be a GREAT experience for your munchkin as well. Now you need to get her some chickens & bunnies so you can have some manure for your garden. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I read an article in the local paper not too long ago that Maine towns, such as Yarmouth, are asking for ordinances which allow for example: chickens for the purpose of personal egg supply. I wonder why my city's ordinance would allow for?
ReplyDeleteI heard about this in Portland area as well. Look into it. Or just do it and don't keep any roosters and keep it low key. Haa, haa, I am such a rule breaker.
ReplyDeleteGreat job citygirl! I have all my seeds and am anxiously awaiting the time/ability to get out and prepare my veggie garden! I have strawberry plants and two blueberry bushes to plant as well....
