Back To My Roots

IN THE SUMMER OF 2004, I awoke one Tuesday in June consumed with the need to Start The Garden. Owing to Circumstances best left unremembered, the garden had been neglected up until that point in time, and the supposition was this would be a year sans garden.
But for whatever reason, I woke up that morning with The Need-- The Need To Seed! And so I went off in one of our Volvo wagons and hied over to the Farmer's Market, and bought tomato seedlings and little proto Morning Glories and two dozen bitsy lettuce plants and a raft of multi colored Swiss Chard, and several flats of annuals. The back of the car filled, I had to stop buying, come home and plant the lot.
The rest of this summer saw some success and a few failures in the garden, but overall it was a wonderful thing. So in order to try to maintain a bit of order, and anticipating that there will be further garden-related postings, I decided it would be best to create a place for them to grow, without taking over the other blog, which, weedlike, they threatened to do.
