I am a graduate student in astrophysics who just wants to have a garden. This blog (my first ever!) began in spring/summer 2007 to share mainly about my attempts to create that garden on our balcony. There is other stuff thrown in, too, just for fun (especially in the winter, when outdoor midwestern gardens aren’t known for their growth and productivity).
When I got my plants for my first garden, my husband and I talked to a woman named Dr. B at Prairie Gardens. She told me that she would suggest a good book on the subject of container vegetable gardening, and when she emailed me, she also suggested that I begin a journal about the garden. This way, I could write down what I try and how it turns out… So, instead of keeping a physical journal, I have turned it into a blog.
So this blog is a journal of my experiences growing a garden. Right now the garden is in containers on our mostly northern-facing 4th-story balcony. I dream of having a huge in-ground garden when Husband and I have a house someday, but for now, I’m immensely pleased with my balcony garden!
If you have any gardening expertise, I would love to have your comments! I’m definitely a beginner 
In any case, enjoy the blog…
