Over the past few years I have become interested in gardening. My parents and I moved onto 2 acres outside of San Diego in 1997. We built a pool and that was about it. I believe that a garden was on my dad's list of to do's but after he passed away in 2005 my mom and I never thought much about it. He purchased a compost bin with the hopes of one day retiring and starting a garden. He was an amazing man who could spend all day outdoors and the rest of his time was one his computer.
Now that I have a family... my husband and two young boys... I want to start a garden. We attempted to utilize my mom's property in 2010 but it became too much to drive 20 miles away to tend my garden while trying to raise an infant and a 2 year old, the garden suffered. My mom continued to plant and would give us some of what she harvested. But my dreams are still there and I hope to start soon.
We currently live in a condo without even a patio. We plan on buying a house within the next few months so I am going to us this time to educate myself on gardening and all that it entails. Join me and I hope you start a garden too!
