Sometimes I think I want to garden because it seems that no one else in my family is interested in being outside and it gives me a few minutes every day to spend alone. We've been in our house for almost 3 years but this year will be the first time we attempt to plant on a large scale (I use the words we very loosely - it'll be me). I'm hoping that we get veggies and fruit at all since our last smaller scale attempts have not come out so well. I've done my research this year and even put together on graph paper the plans for how I want to plant everything so if things go wrong it won't be for lack of planning.
We just started planting our seedlings last week and our starters are doing really well. I know it's late in the season but since we live in Northern California I think we'll be fine, or we won't and that will be a learning lesson for this year. On the downside it's been raining like crazy here the last few weeks and we're behind on getting the yard ready to plant the seedlings. Hopefully I can get my husband outside with me for a little while to get the raised beds put together and borrow the rototiller from grandpa, we're using our old fence boards for the beds this season, mostly because we're broke but also recycling is good. I'm not exactly sure how they'll come together yet but if I can get them to work right I'll post the directions.
As we get farther into the season I'll try to add some pictures and plans for how we did things, since right now most of it is in my head and I have no idea how things are actually going to work. Wish me luck!
