Bring on the Seeds

In december, we had been actively reading and checking out different websites for our new garden adventure. In order to ensure that we were making the right decsions, we took our time and tried to plan out as much as we could. Before anything we had to get seeds. Today my mom brought me a magazine called "Farmer seed and Nursery." We looked through it and made a nice list of things that we wanted to plant. Once we had the list we were able to talk about how we were going to plant our new kids. This is what we decided....

Sweet Bell Peppers

Detroit Dark Red Beets

Butternut Crunch lettuce

Tendersweet Carrot

Straight 8 Cucumbers

California Wonder Pepper

German Gian Radish

Bloomsdale Spinach

Crimson Sweet Watermelon

Burpee Stringless Green Bean

Early Alaska Pea

Beef Steak Tomatoes

Farmer's Monster Tomatoes

Howden Pumpkin

Biblical Fig Tree

Hanging Strawberries

Sweet Basil

Dill

Leeks

Parsley

Gourmet Lettuce Blend

Spinach

Sunny Boy Tomatoes

Zuchinni

Edamame

We are so excited to be doing this. Not too sure how or where we are going to fit all of this stuff in, but knowing my mom and I, nothing will stop us.

Introduction

I am creating this blog in order to share my urban gardening experience with all of my friends, family and all who are interested . I also would like feed back and certainly stories and tips for gardening of this nature.

A little history...

I am a 23 year old graduate, with a music education degree and a passion for fresh produce. I am a vegetarian that is infinitely tired of eating shopping center produce. I have been a new comer to the farmer market scene and questioned why was it I couldn't have my own garden with my own food. The crazy idea really started in the summer of 2008. my mother and I decided to pull all of our house plants to the back porch and enjoy a small, private, jungle oasis. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to do the same thing in 2009. We not only had the house plants but also gave home to a few vegetables. We had Basil, Cucumbers, Tomatoes and Dill. We supplied the rest of our diet with the local farmers markets that year.

Unlike 2009, this year was a little bit different. We took our gardening experience to the next level.
