GardenGirlSD's Profile

I'm 35 (GenX), live in San Diego, and LOVE organic gardening. We fell in love with our lil’ home (purchased in 2009) for its many dwarf trees (oranges, grapefruit, avocados, peaches & apricot) and perfect garden plot. I admit, I feel like I dove into it with 2 black thumbs, but with a lot of researching, planning, designing, learning and ASKING came a beautiful and bountiful veg patch. It’s been well worth it. This year will be our 3rd summer crop and we have a combination of in-ground and container. Veggie roll call: Asparagus, Artichokes, Borage, Bush Beans, Edamame, Cucumbers, Squash, Heirloom Tomatoes, Herbs, Potatoes, Spinach, Osaka Mustard, Eggplant, 8 varieties of Peppers—including Black Cobra & Ghost Pepper! We also have what I call “Vagabond Patch” of random seedlings that sprouted from our compost bin. We’ll see what they grow into! I’ve been meaning to blog about my experiences, but find sharing pix and experiences with my FB friends a better use of my time! ;)
