Welcome to the Mighty Organic Earth!

Welcome to the Mighty Organic Earth gardening blog. For over a year now I have been writing a blog about my 11 month old daughter, Lilah, at http://mightybabyboig.blogspot.com/ and for the past few months some of the readers of that, and just some folks/friends in general, have asked that I start a blog about my organic garden. So...this is it!

You might be wondering why I have chosen to start this blog as summer (the time when most people are entrenched in their gardens) is drawing to a close. Right now, and over the next few months, is when I spend quite a bit of time reviewing successes and failures, doing research and planning for next years garden - so I think it is the perfect time to share and document what I find and learn.

These photos are what my garden looks like today, taken this morning off of my deck. The first two are the heavy veggies and fruit - you can see some tomatoes, grapes, horseradish and beans pretty clearly. The third is a rogue flower garden that Jason and I have been trying to tame for years. This year might be the one where we finally mow it down and start over!

I have many ideas and thoughts for next year already, but the first thing I am researching, and want to share, is experimenting with a fall veggie garden. I have never done a fall garden - veggie or otherwise - and I am very interested in learning how to extend my growing season. So look for a kick off of that project later this week.
I hope that you enjoy reading about my gardening fun and please feel free to ask questions, provide feedback and generally share your thoughts in the comments section of this blog.




Good night and happy gardening dreams to all!
