Mary's Organic Garden Journal

"That's not a weed!"  I can't count how many times I've said that. I love to grow my own fresh organic vegetables.  There is nothing like the taste of a fresh picked anything.  I feel even better knowing that I use organic growing methods to feed my family. It's important to me that I don't harm the environment.  So I get it when my seedlings get mistaken for weeds.
  Each new year comes with goals and expectations. This is especially true for gardeners. Each year I get to pick and choose different varieties and methods to use.  Some methods are successful and some not so much. I love that each season I get to start with a clean slate and last year's mistakes are forgiven.  That yearly clean slate calls me to become more adventurous.I can always start again next year.
  Every year, by August, I let my garden become overgrown and out of control. This year I hope to keep the look of my garden more inviting and extending my growing season.
