Rookie Mistakes
Welcome to our blog. This is my favorite picture from summer 2007. Last year we moved into our garden level apartment and what started out as a little garden turned into a full time vegetable farm. I had the brilliant plan of planting "a seed every two inches". Rookie mistake. I didn't really think it would all grow, but it did. By august, we had hundreds of tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peppers, peas... more than we could even give away. It was a big wonderful mess and amazing to see a those little seeds transform into giant plants. We are really excited for the garden of 2008, so there is much to come in the next few months...

bvwmurphyHi Emily & Jeff,
What a great blog. I do love your comments Emily, and I hope to hear more from Jeff!! I am wondering how he likes the farm ! I also need a great name for our farm, Jeff, you are so good at that kind of thing, do you have any ideas?? I guess you could say that our farms are mini farms.
We are thinking of having a couple of yards of 40/60 organic blend mulch added to our vegetable garden probably next week. We can't plant until May 15th so we still have a little bit of time.
Maybe you could explain a bit about "Kimberly" how is that going? Does it have a smell?
Does anyone have any ideas for a nice looking inexpensive water feature? I want to put in a couple in my gardens and I think one would be great in your space too. I can't think of anything creative that is inexpensive and unique.I am hoping you have some ideas.
Do you add ladybugs to your garden?
Thanks for the blog!
