What am I doing here?

Hello, my name is Charlene and I want to be an expert organic vegetable gardener. The only problem: I have no idea what I am doing. So, join me as I succeed and fail in all things gardening.  My motto: no expectations.

Why not wait to blog until I know what I am talking about?” you ask...
Recently, after feeling inspired by all the blogs I have been reading to help me in my operation, I said to my mom, “Mom, I think if I do well at this gardening thing I might blog about it.” She replied, “Why don't you start now so that people can follow your journey and learn from your mistakes as you go through the process. You can be helpful to them in that way.” So, here we are... no guarantees people!

A few things before we get started...
I live in Houston , TX, which is in Plant Hardiness Zone 9. So, what I learn and write about will be based on Zone 9 factors.

My goal is to spend as little money as possible and build whatever apparatuses needed on my own. Basically DIY on a tight budget.

My intent is for everything I grow, make or use to be organic.

  1. Ooh! You'll have a good time with this, but it can be frustrating. We're kinda doing the same thing in the old corn field at dad's. I've made quite a few mistakes since i started, but I've also learned a LOT along the way.

    Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress!

    1. Oh cool! Great place to do that! I'm jealous of all the space you have. Kevin and I are planning on buying a couple acres, but we are a couple years out from that.
