Hi Everyone! Just found this site and signed up. I'm in zone 5 and have been veggie gardening for the past 5-6 years. I started with flowers but determined that I would really like to grow my own food, so started a small plot. I don't have a lot of space, but I have been able to grow in to 2 8x8 foot raised garden areas that I grow. Some plants I start from seeds and some I buy from a local farmer.

I love to garden. For me, it is very peaceful to be outdoors and puttering in my garden. I'm not the best, and some things die, but I keep trying new veggies and new ways of growing them to see what I come up with. Peas and Beans are a couple of my favorites and I love to grow potted tomatoes. (the little yellow ones I adore!)

I have found that a mix of flowers and veggies are best!! I do raised beds as well about 7 of them so far and growing every year to more stuff.
this year I am going to try growing sun flowers for the first time.!
