The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me!

The path to knowledge is full of mistakes, but the greatest mistake is not to try.

Hello world!

I am starting to get serious about my gardening! Growing up, everyone in my family had a garden of some sort. We took pride in providing even a little for ourselves and our neighbors. Nothing creates a sense of community better than seeing the smile on someone’s face when you bring them a bucket full of red juicy tomatoes and crisp cucumbers. I hope someday in the future every yard I pass will incorporate some fruits and veggies into their landscaping. Wouldn’t that make a happy world?

My name is Emily and I am starting this new blog for two reasons:

One

I am turning 30 this year and preparing to start my own gardening techniques in new spaces. I thought this would be a good way to keep a record and help plan my garden each new year.

Two

Since I already have some gardening experience under my belt, I am hoping to be able to pay it forward and share my tips, tricks, and knowledge with the community. Gardening can be a bit overwhelming for a beginner (and sometimes for the experienced as well). But, with a little bit of patience, a dash of hope, and some solid research we will be able to grow ALL of the things together!

What should you expect?

Most of my posts will be journal-style to update everyone on how the plants are growing and record observations to look back on in coming years. To satisfy the scientist in me, I will also be adding some pages that are more research based. These could include experiments that I will work on or literature reviews on techniques.
