Oh my goodness! I'm blogging...what pressure - now I have to say something great....um....um....gee...well..
Welcome to Backyard Farmgirl! My purpose for this blog is to learn about this blogging thing AND to share and gather ideas from other "backyard" farmgirls.
Backyard Farmgirl really needs no explanation, I hope. I live in the suburbs but always wanted to live out in the country...you know, city girl with her heart in the country...I don't see us moving out to the country any time soon with the economy the way it is...better to stay put where we are at the moment and learn to use what we have already. So, the journey begins. Well actually, we've been on the journey for a little while, transforming our backyard into a place that I can call my little farmhouse!
Right now we have a large raised bed with plans for another one this spring. We grow beets, carrots, lettuces, onions, radishes, herbs, tomatoes, zucchini and sugar snap peas...oh ya, broccoli and swiss chard.....I try new things every year. We constructed our first rustic grape arbor last year...that was so much fun..we made it completely out of trees we found on the floor of the woods nearby. My husband and I hauled everything out of the woods and loaded it in our CAR! You gotta work with what you have....we do now have a little used truck which will come in handy this spring. I did plant 4 blueberry bushes last spring but I'm still lookin for them...not sure where they went. Last time I saw them the deer found them before me. Looking for larger more mature blueberry bushes to plant this year.
Contemplating chickens...yes dear, chickens. Trying to talk my husband into chickens - just 4; no roosters.
Now that I'm a Follower, so what? What did I just do by signing up as a Follower? What do I get that is free?
