The Beginning of Our Journey

Welcome to my garden blog! I invite you to come on this journey with me and my husband, from seeds to an organic garden to the dinner table. Weather here in Texas is pretty unpredictable, especially this time of year. The temperature is constantly changing and the wind can be brutal, so I've started all the seeds inside. Using small seed cells, a few pots, some organic soil and a heat lamp I've planted a variety of seeds; so far we're working on:

• Tomatoes
• Zucchini
• Yellow Squash
• Cucumbers
• Bell Peppers
• Cayenne Peppers
• Habanero Peppers
• Green Onions
• Yellow Onions
• Soy Beans
• Kidney Beans
• Green Beans
• Basil
• Cilantro 
• Various flowers

Here's a picture of the operation (the ones covered in plastic are still germinating):

Outside we're getting the garden space ready. Here it is now:

I know, it looks like a pile of leaves, but soon we'll till the soil and get it ready for when the seedlings are strong enough to make it outside.

We also have a compost that we've been adding to for almost a year now:

                                         (Yummy)

We will soon be getting some earthworms to help in the compost as well as the garden area.

Some future projects include adding potatoes and avocados, and perhaps constructing our own greenhouse!

I'll keep updating so you can follow along to see what happens! Suggestions are welcome
