How it all began

This whole projected started with my sons desire to plant some seeds. Each year he asks and we pick up something... We have tried sunflowers, carrots, strawberries and beans over the years... With very little success (other then a few massive sunflowers one year)... but his determination never gives up.

This year I had decided I would take that little patch along our back walk way, and plant a herb garden, as nothing is better then fresh herbs! Well this got my son upset, as this was his planting space. So the search began!

Urban Gardening... there are Tons of options, but the one that really interested me was "African" gardening. This looked like something my boys would love to do, and with our very limited space, it would work ideally.... Well I hunted for the burlap sacks, and had no luck, so have had to put that idea on hold (but not forgotten), as we gave such a short growing season here to begin with...

But Sunday May 23rd, out of the blue, we decided we would rip out 1/2 our yard, so that we would have a little plot to plant in, and make dreams come true! So the work began!
