I have a vegetable garden in Midwestern Northern Illinois. It is organic, has raised beds, and I am using double digging techniques (actually bastard trenching), along with French Intensive concepts. I broke ground in December of 2009, and I hope that if you are a beginning or struggling gardener that this blog will be an encouragement to you.

Why I'm doing this blog.
I started a new garden last December, when I rototilled an area that was nothing but grass. I have a pretty good pictorial of the progress from the start to where it is today. I haven't gardened for 15 years and I want to encourage beginners and those that haven't gardened for a while. I have three grandchild helpers 5,7, and 11 years of age. We did pretty good i think for a first year and won 16 ribbons at local fairs. Including best of show in the childrens class with Blue Lake green beans.
