Vegetable Garden 2010 Introduction

This blog will document my family's 2010 vegetable garden! We have rented a garden plot from one of the local community gardens. The plot measures 25' x 90' (2,250 square feet.) Please check back often for updates and photos of the progress. Planting was done from 5/29/10 through 6/14/10. A planting list will follow.
