As the new year begins, I’ve set my sights on ambitious gardening goals that fill me with excitement and a touch of anxiety. It all began today when my mother reminded me that I needed to start my seeds indoors in just two months for spring planting. Naturally, I hit the panic button and made an impulsive purchase of $40 worth of seed packets from a Canadian supplier. That’s not all she wrote though. She inspired me to create a blog about my gardening adventures today, so here we are. Thanks mom! I have taken the leap into chronicling the highs, the lows, the planning (or lack thereof) the sowing, the harvests, and all the “dirt” from my gardening experiences throughout the year.
