The Beginning

If you are reading this it means I must have twisted your arm to visit the site. Probably my wife or one of my children or you went to the wrong blog.

The majority of my blog posts will be a journal about the vegetable garden I am growing. It's a major expansion from a couple of tomato plants last year. My goal is to grow the garden measuring individual plan growth, condition and yield so I can learn about what works best. Most of the harvest will go to a local food pantry. It's not a new concept, but new for this pantry.

My criteria for plant selection was what costs the most at grocery stores, tomatoes, bell peppers, squash and herbs were high on the list. These are also fruits that don't require much preparation at all to be eaten.

Other than the joy it brings me to garden, I hope to use this experience as a spark for new ideas about how to help others in need through similar projects.

I welcome your posts, ideas and comments.
