Hello

Our Front Yard Summer of 2010
        Encouraged by friends who have been blogging and determined to keep my mind moving into the future I am attempting to start and maintain this site, My most wonderful mother-in-law, Nancy Sonne game me a Garden Journal years ago, but I made the mistake of thinking it was too beautiful to write in it with my scratchy handwriting and horrible spelling. Now, I could use some of my own wisdom and advise that I would have been gathering.
       In keeping this record or journal of sorts I will be able to answer those yearly questions that haunt me, like- did I start the sweet potatoes in February or in March, and how many rows of swiss chard caused that overabundance and eventual waste? No, If I can learn to do this, I will have it as a resource to aid my failing memory and perhaps you too can have a few questions answered and get a glimpse at what it is like to try and live off the land.
