The Gardening Me
I built my first vegetable garden 30 years ago – all the grass on our postage-stamp-sized lot was replaced with garden beds & my journey began. While the garden was tiny, my enthusiasm wasn’t.
When we moved to our current house, the first thing I did was install four raised vegetable beds. Over the years, that little vegetable garden grew. Then, in 2021, it went through a major overhaul – new layout, 12 new beds, new fencing – the whole shebang. My love of ornamentals has also grown over the past few years – a LOT – and I’m constantly adding to – and sometimes completely redoing – the numerous perennial borders on our one-acre property.
My philosophy? Gardening is more about the journey than the destination.
