The Anecdotal Gardener (BlogSpot) was launched in February 2012 to share my garden experiences with fellow gardeners, who, like myself, struggle with the trials and tribulations of backyard gardening. The Anecdotal Gardener is about garden planning, seed starting, planting, and maintenance. It will also include kitchen activities, recipes, and any other homestead-related activities, like canning and other food preservation methods that I try to utilize in my quest to preserve and extend the harvest. I hope this space inspires everyone to start a garden, eat more vegetables, live a healthier life, and to not be discouraged by any setbacks, for setbacks provide the fodder for our lives!
