About Me:
I was born and raised in California, I grew up in a family that always ate vegetables at every meal and most of them came fresh from the garden in our backyard. My dad showed me how to garden at young age and I have taken that knowledge and expanded on it for the last ten years or so. I moved to Gilbert Arizona seven years ago and began gardening with a small 3x2 ft. Raised bed and grew peppers that were marginal to say the least. I now have over 300 square feet of gardening beds and am getting better tasting and higher yields every year. This year I hope to grow enough vegetables that I won't have to go to the market at all.
