Now that the edible gardening season is slowing down (hopefully you are still tucking in a few cool-season veggies for fall and winter eating!), I thought I’d check in with all you new gardeners.  I know we have LOTS of new gardeners this year because I’ve talked with many of you, and so naturally I’m eager to know how you fared.   How did your first season of edible gardening go for you?   Do you feel successful?  Did you encounter challenges, and if so what were they?  Did the experience meet your expectations?  Were there lessons learned that you’d like to share?  As we’ve said before on this page, gardening is a life-long pursuit, and taking the time to assess and reflect on our gardens is a very important step to learning.  And sharing with other fellow gardeners having similar experiences can be enlightening.

Since this blog is not meant to be a forum for this sort of discussion, I would love to have this conversation with you on our Community Page.  http://community.farmingtongardens.com/ If you’d like to share your achievements and struggles, pose questions, share plans for the future – please go to this link and click on Edibles in the Garden.  I’ll meet you over there, and we can talk!  Think of it as a support group for edible gardeners…
