Starting Your First Garden

I can remember when I decided to start my first garden, I thought it would be fun and we would have lots of fresh veggies to eat. Wow was I wrong, my son was just a baby then and we lived in a country apartment on a busy road and no neighbors to ask for advice. So I went to this little road side stand that was selling plants and bought some brussel sprout plants and one tomato plant. Not realizing that all the good plants were gone and it was way to late to be buying plants to be planted outside. I asked the woman at the shop for hardy plants for a new gardener and this is what she sent me with. I was so proud of my new green friends as I drove home with them. We dug up the ground next to our porch in the shade and made the spot that we hoped would be great! So I dug a whole and placed each little plant in the ground and watered them well. I kept watering every few days and they seemed to be alive. As I looked closer to the soil we planted in we found chunks of concrete,nails,clay and road trash blew on them. The tomato plant died but true to that nice ladies word the brussels kept living. After a month or so we had enough very little brussels for one dinner. It did not pay for the cost of the plants, but it helped me realize that I needed to know a whole lot more about gardening before the next season, so my journey into gardening began. Every free chance I had my nose was in some kind of gardening book or HGTV show on gardens. I am happy to announce that every year since then my gardens have gotten better and we are eating healthier foods because of it.
