Gardening For Dummies

Now that Spring has sprung (officially by Calendar...unofficially by Mother Nature) my mind has set it's gears to Gardening and being a new HOMEOWNER with a large backyard that I don't have to ask permission to use, I fully intend on making use of it's bounty to sow the various seeds I will be planting!

Unfortunately... I wouldn't describe myself as much of a green thumb... plants that come to live in my house... well they tend to die... even the "easiest plant to take care of" (as professed by my Mother) came to live with me and ended up living in a landfill. Then there was the time I tried to plant flowers at our old place, I bought some nice lively potted plants from the store and some fertilizer... dug up some dirt and stuck those suckers in... they died within a week. I don't know where I went wrong... so this time I am enlisting the help of my Mom as well as Auntie to come and help me with my gardening and fix my apparent Faux Pas ...

Oh and one more thing I fully intend on learning/trying is growing my own Indoor Herb Garden, since I love cooking and there is truly nothing better to add to your dish than FRESH Herbs I want to give this a shot too!



Some day I envision I will have a back yard & garden to be envied by all! A vegetable patch, raspberry bushes, lilac bushes, tulips, sunflowers, rhubarb... it will be a thing of beauty and once my dream comes true I will be learning something else that is completely new to me... Canning, which I will be enlisting the help of D's Grandmother to mentor me in.

Wish me luck or Green Thumbs Up!
I will keep you all posted on my progress, what I learn and how it turns out.
