There are a number of people, blogs, websites, and resources that have been an essential part of any success I've had with my garden adventures. In all honesty, there are way too many to list, but the ones below, in particular, have been a never-ending source of inspiration and encouragement for me. I would have been lost without the knowledge freely given by these folks...and none of my tomatoes would have grown. That would have been very sad, indeed.
First of all, Google. http://www.google.com/
My lifeline. The portal through which all learning and knowledge comes...or something like that.

As I figure out this whole blogging thing, I'll do some "official" linking or whatever its called.

In the beginning...
This is a blog about the adventures, and misadventures, of turning this space, into a living, breathing, thriving, vegetable garden.
This was our garden space, in April 2010

I'm currently sifting through all my "results" photos, and I'll be posting those soon. But here's a quick illustration of the evolution of last year's garden.
A lot of digging was involved...
A lot of ground leveling was involved...
And we built some beds...
To hold the dirt (er, "soil")...
To grow the plants...
And away we went...
In the first year, we built 4 raised beds, and had 14 tomato plants, amongst many other veggies.
In 2011, we're "doubling down":
New beds, more space, starting everything from seed, and this year...23 varieties of Heirloom tomatoes.
We might be crazy.

Hello World
So, how exactly does one begin a blog?
Is there a right way or wrong way to do this?
If I'm to believe the "blogosphere", the answer is definitively "yes", and everyone has their own idea as to what is the right and wrong way to do this.
Unfortunately, I generally only have one way to do things, and that's to jump right in and figure it out as I go.
So, here we go...
