[Organic_Gardening] New to group from Northwest Ohio
Hello everyone.
I'm timidly introducing myself *wave* as a gardening newbie. My mother has always had lovely gardens and water gardens as well. I enjoyed them but never liked working in them, and never learned to identify anything.
Grown up now, have a husband and two small children, living in the home that my husband grew up in and that his parents actually built. I believe there's an acre and a half of land we're on, so not huge but plenty of room for us all and the family dog.
Far in the back of the yard is my mother-in-law's garden bed. Its severely neglected from years of overgrowth of weeds and the fencing to keep rabbits out has since been knocked over. I'm pretty sure the watering system is shot and that most everything has died off. (Except something my MIL calls walking onions... Apparently they're everywhere back there. Not that I could point them out or anything.)
Well as I'm maturing and opening my eyes to the ill effects that genetically modified food has on us, plus the fact that this is economy is well, crap... it will be healthier and more affordable to grow our own food. But I have to admit, this seems pretty daunting. I have only had a few plants of my own, all which I killed with the black-thumb-of-death. lol I'm hoping that I will have some luck and that come sometime this year, we will be enjoying home grown vegetables like carrots, corn, lettuce, cabbage, beans, peppers, etc... among a few other things.
Bear with me please, if I have a lot of (stupid) questions, where I'm sure a lot of you will be thinking, "DUH!" Glad I found this group, though!
