The Victory Garden

Vegetable gardening has been making a come back over the last few years and for the last few I haven't kept up with mine very well. From a young age I've had a love of anything hands on and gardening was something that I can still remember doing as a tiny tot. The smell of home grown tomatoes is probably one of the most comforting things there is for me. I had already vowed that I would start getting back on top of it this year and now more than ever after seeing how wrong the things we eat can be. I never use pesticides but I never did master organic gardening and that's something I really want to do this time. Our dirt in the yard is mostly clay and really crummy though so I have to amend it every season which I'm not very good with keeping up on. This year I know I'm getting into composters to save myself some money all the way around. The design of the recent ones has been really great and not nearly as gross as what it used to be so it makes the idea much more appealing. I'm so glad I can pass on some memories to my kids as my grandpa did to me.
