Hi Everyone,
I didn't know if I was supposed to start a new thread or post to one of the stickies above for my introduction, so hopefully this is okay.
After getting my feet wet with growing a few herbs last year, I ventured out to the fascinating world of backyard vegetable gardening this year. I am trying out square foot gardening, traditional in-ground gardening, some container gardening and even DIY indoor grow box gardening (my boyfriend built this amazing grow box from a used armoire).
The start-up cost is still way higher than the value of the vegetables I harvested so far this summer, but I have high hopes that my garden will pay off eventually. If not, at least I'm learning a lot about vegetable gardening and having lots of fun in the process!
I just finished most of my fall planting in the last couple of weeks, so I'm waiting (im)patiently for these crops to grow. I'm also waiting for successful harvests from a few experimental vegetable plants that I started late in the season, including Jelly Bean tomatoes, Long Cayenne peppers, and a cantaloupe plant that I started from seed from a grocery store melon.
I'm looking forward to getting to know this garden forum community, and learning from each other. I've also been chronicling my gardening progress and adventures in my new garden blog.
Thank you for reading my introduction!
