About me
I am simply somebody who thoroughly enjoys growing my own vegetables.

Gardening expertise
Keen but Clueless

Biggest gardening accomplishments
I began growing my own vegetables last year. This in itself is an immense achievement, but on top of that I had about a 90% success rate, which felt good since it was my first year attempting it.

Biggest gardening frustrations
SLUGS!!!!!!!!!!

The gardening project I am currently working on
I've started this season's vegetable growing again. Last year, I grew everything in containers. This year, my husband has assigned me a patch of garden, which will be an exciting new project.
