Starting from the start

So here I am, starting my very own gardening blog. More so for myself to look at while I am not able to be in my garden and track my own progress.

I Guess I should start at the start! Here goes:

My garden started some time around mid-end October 2009 with my OH deciding I was way too stressed (or in man land I was going to make his head explode if I didnt get off his back to finish the various 1/2 finished renovation work) and needed my own little haven. Having had a small courtyard type garden a couple of years before that I really loved but sadly had to leave behind when we moved, he was 100% right. And so the garden started off, pictured below a couple of weeks in with some store bought Tomatoes- Green Zebra, Tigerella, Principe Borghese, Tommy Toe, and a Roma Cherry of some sort, Capsicum- Big red, Cherry pick and mini bells along with lettuce and Snow pea seedlings

Plus some lebanese cucumber, globe radish and carrot seedlings- The first veggie seeds I had sown myself


It was exciting times! With the addition of a new 'bathtub' garden for the home grown cucumber, radish and carrot seedlings, the garden flourished and before I could blink looked somewhat like this:

Then came my first harvest, how satisfying! And now, im hooked!! And have slowly started to take claim my very small backyard back from the dog- digging new veggie bed after new veggie bed

.... so please come along and join me on my first vegetable gardening journey!
