In 2010 I planted my first vegetable garden that I tended to mostly on my own. For most of my life our family has grown vegetables, but there were quite a few years that nothing was planted, and last year I decided it was time for me to learn how it is done. Well it is now 2011 and a new growing season is upon us. Unfortunately the month of April was really wet that I was not able to work the soil, and plant the few things that like the cooler temperatures at night. Along comes May and it is still not cooperating with me, but I at least start to work the soil by hand, as the rototiller is in the shop. Finally in June I have planted half of the seeds, and once things were a few weeks into the growing season I planted the other half of the seeds.

I wanted to make this a progress blog of the vegetable garden, but as I am a procrastinator it has been nearly a month since the garden has been planted, and you have not been able to see it progress from seedlings to maturity, but I will continue to post photos every other week, especially once the plants start getting larger and vegetables on them.
