It helps to know others are learning from my successes and failures and makes hosting this blog worthwhile.<br /><br />That's great that your starting a garden. I would suggest starting small with the easiest to grow veggies that you buy most often, and keep expanding a little every year. And make sure to have adequate supports for veggies that need it. That's probably been my biggest mistake that I've made since gardening. Last year I was kicking myself that I didn't put large cages for each tomato plant. I ended up having to trim my tomato plants every few weeks and the trellis I made started to collapse under the weight. Lot's of work and headache that could have been avoided....<br /><br />Just don't overwhelm yourself, and keep it fun. You'll be amazed and addicted once you realize all the produce you can grow. I also love that not only do I know everything about how my veggies are grown, but I also know that my veggies are the freshest my can get and therefore the highest in nutrition. You can also feed you chicks some stuff from the garden!JULIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597015941965130337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122198093588335351.post-1131403620724283492012-04-17T17:44:01.539-05:002012-04-17T17:44:01.539-05:00I like your blog and can't wait to look around...I like your blog and can't wait to look around a bit more!
