Welcome to my blog!  

This is a first for me, so please bear with me as I navigate and learn the ins and outs of this whole blog thing… 

Really, I’m just a girl who loves her vegetable garden…like a lot!! I do not claim to be a gardening expert by any means…but what I have learned so far, I would love to share with you all in the hopes that it could help someone else just starting out. And a blog seemed like the perfect way to do that!  

Everything I’ve learned about gardening over the years has been from a lot of books. And well, honestly a fair amount of google too…a little from my dad, and most of all from a LOT of trial and error, which, if I’m being completely honest, I find is the best way to learn!! 

On my journey to learning how to live a more self-sufficient life I hope to share with you gardening tips, food storage methods, recipes, my love of photography and of course all the successes and challenges I experience along the way as I learn new things! 

So please, follow along as I go through this new learning experience towards a more self-sufficient lifestyle. And if for nothing else, enjoy the photographs that hopefully help showcase how beautiful and rewarding starting your own vegetable garden can really be!
