The garden, it begins!

I regret my late attention to the subject, and therfore a lack of early pictures and information, but this year seems to be the year that I have decided to begin a serious attempt at backyard farming.  In the past, my family and I have made several attempts at gardening in our backyard, but they usually ended up basically fruitless.  This year, for a variety of reasons, I have decided to make another attempt at it, with a set of goals in mind.  As this blog ontinues, I hope to add a large number of pictures, and useful information to the hopeful backyard farmerm with the intention being that you may learn from my mistakes as well as successes.  In the coming days, I will be adding information about where the status of my garden is, and how I have come to this point.  Directly succeeding this post, I will regale you with the dockett of my days activities, including preparation of the garden, and plans for the coming days and weeks.  I hope you will stay tuned to my labors and provide me with input as to what you are doing in your own backyard garden, and any areas that you think I need to pay more attention to or make changes to.  I wish you all the best in your endeavours and hope that we may revitalize the backyard garden "industry" together!
