So here is the original blog idea from Radfield Farms. The other you will find here is, of course, The Vegetarian Experiment found at http://thevegetarianquest.blogspot.com/ We encourage you to follow them both and comment as often as you like.
Gardening has been an interest of mine since I was a teenager. I can still remember my brother and I tearing up my parents backyard to build the biggest garden you have ever seen. We had 5 raised beds and grew a bit of everything and it was successful too. I was fascinated with the idea of growing your own food. The thought of just going to your backyard and picking food off a plant and going inside and making dinner was astounding to me.
In my crazy life, there is a certain peacefulness in gardening. It's a beautiful quiet place surrounded by life and the order of it all. There is a definite "circle of life" feeling that I am connected to. It is a place that I understand my purpose.
As I become more and more concerned with my health I become more aware of the things that I put in my body. I find myself drawn to the idea of having a direct connection with the food I eat. I know how it is grown, what it is fed and therefor what I will be eating.
Although I have grown gardens before I cannot claim to be an expert. I am still a student of the earth, learning as I grow, falling back and striding forward. That is the purpose of this blog, of Radfield Farms. To explore gardening, to enjoy the learning process and celebrate the rewards and learn from the failures. It is our hope to have people follow and share information, learn together and grow. We will have tips available as we learn more and more about the plants we grow. If we can do this, anyone can. So stay tuned for tips on: tomatoes, broccoli, herbs, cabbage, onions, canteloupe, peppers, corn and much more. We hope you enjoy gardening and learning as much as we do.

Tip of the Week: HERBS - If you have always wanted to garden but are unsure where to begin or maybe just don't have the space, try growing herbs. Herbs are hardy and can be very forgiving plants which makes them perfect for the beginning gardener. Herbs can easily be grown in your yard or even in pots in your kitchen. So go ahead, choose some of your favorites, go buy some seeds or the plants themselves and you will have your green thumb in no time!
