I'm guessing this is where you introduce yourself, but as there doesn't seem to be other introduction threads here feel free to move it mods!

I just started gardening last year in the Pacific Northwest. I always had gardens as a girl in California, but essentially all I did was plant the starts I got from the garden and pick the fruit...I suspect my mother had much to do with the lack of weeds and well-watered plants in between. :) I just figured I had a green thumb.

Last year I planted a garden and learned 3,067 ways NOT to grow a garden. This year I've already learned one more way not to grow a garden. (The broccoli isn't supposed to grow rapidly. -.-) I'm hoping this year some plants will survive, and perhaps I'll even get some plants to live. :)

My big dream is to one day own a small organic farm specializing in farm fresh eggs (chickens at least, I am a pro at.) Hopefully this garden will be my next step on the way!

Welcome, AMKuska!

I am from the dry side also ;).

There were several TEG gardeners from your part of the world but there were some very difficult, cold & dreary growing seasons. And then, last year - you had a drought!

Gardening is difficult enough without a near absence of a growing season or a sudden 180 in the climate. I hope things even out a little in your environment in 2014. Stay on your toes!

Steve
