Welcome

Nestled in the middle of a tiny town in western PA is a small garden with great potential. My Best Friend's a Worm is about that garden. Hopefully you will find the information useful and the stories entertaining. I am relatively new to the world of gardening, so please feel free to share your garden wisdom and stories in the comments.

raised bed and seedlings

We got two 4x4ft raised garden kits at Home Depot yesterday. For just $29 each, they should be a nice start to my home garden. Hopefully the weather will warm up again soon so I can get outside and put them together!

Some of the seeds I put in the mini greenhouse have already sprouted! My little cucumber lemon plants from the Burpee Heirloom, 2010 collection sure are speedy growers! They've already started growing their first set of leaves.

Yellow Pear Tomato seedlings from the Living Seed Co. Heirloom 2010 collection started yesterday. As did some of the winter squash (Burpee, 2009), yellow crookneck squash (Bentley Seeds, Inc, 2009 collection).

Today, I woke to find seedlings starting to poke through from the Swiss chard (neon lights, Burpee 2009), summer savory (2009), borage (2009), and red & yellow pear tomatoes (The Cook's Garden, 2009).

Now while I wait for the weather to improve so I can build my new garden beds, I have lots of work to do. I'm making custom plant markers out of polymer clay, paint, and glaze. I'm also making a few miniature garden gnomes. Check back soon for pictures!
