Our first organic garden!

I wrote a post a few months back about why everyone should start their own "Victory Garden" and I am certainly no exception! About a month and a half ago, my hubby and I got some cedar wood (cut by our local hardware store into 5'x3' planks), which we weatherized and put together. Two weeks ago we placed them in the yard and filled them with loam and local goat manure and planted! Over the course of the summer I plan on mentioning how our garden is progressing, as well as utilize some of my own home grown ingredients in my recipes!

Our local natural foods store was selling locally grown tomato plants, strawberries, cabbages and basil! We also acquired some leeks and a couple mint plants! Everything we planted is 100% organic and will remain so for the duration of our wee garden.

All of our tomato plants now have tomato cages for support!

Our little strawberry patch! I have since added more strawberries to this patch, so it looks a little more populated now. 

I am a HUGE proponent of eating local, organic and natural! I am super excited to have some of my food right here on my own lawn! I cannot wait to pluck one of my cherry tomatoes off of the vine, later this summer, and pop it into my mouth...Nothing is gonna taste sweeter!
