My garden
Do you have a vegetable garden at home? I often fantasize about living in a place where I can have a large garden. In this fantasy I also have time to work in said garden, of course! For now, though, I have a single raised bed in my suburban backyard.
(My garden from a few years ago.)
My garden is more of a hobby than a functional food source at the moment. Eventually I'd like to plant with the seasons and make it more useful for us. A few years ago I read Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life and was really inspired. If you haven't read the book but are interested in learning more about the idea of eating close to home, growing your own food, or become a "locavore", I highly recommend the book. It is more of a memoir than a "how to" and I found it really interesting and inspirational!

That is actually a good start! I also started gardening by having little pots and then went up a little bit to two seed beds and then finally turned my whole backyard to my vegetable and flower garden. But I had more vegetables than flowers. That is a great start for you.
ReplyDeleteBooks are good when you are newer in gardening. I also read books about gardening and also started with a seed bed until it I have a big garden at my front yard. Good luck on your gardening!
