Grow baby grow

Just in case the title of this blog got you wondering. No I'm not pregnant. I'm not talking about babies or kids today, I'm talking vegetables. In my fondest dreams I am living a totally self sustained life. Growing and making all that I need, and being blissfully happy in my simple life. Of course in my dreams, nothing is hard, and life is easy. Lets wake up now! I have always wanted a home garden, and I have always failed. It's not easy when you live in places like Florida, the Upper peninsula of Michigan, or New Mexico. I would love to blame it all on the harsh climates of those places, but the truth is I can barley keep a house plant alive. This year I have decided to try the Topsy-turvy. I will start with my favorites, cucumbers and tomatoes, and we'll see how it goes. If they die I might as well give up. Well at least until my dreams convince me to try again!
