The Beginning

Let me start my introducing myself and explaining the purpose of this blog. My name is Tiffany and I just moved from New Mexico to South Texas. I am starting this blog to share my failings and, hopefully, successes of my very first garden.
"Very first" might not be a completely accurate description. I have planted a few flowers in my mother's backyard, I've tried my hand at container gardening, and my home is filled with houseplants. But none of those experiences are comparable to the task I am about to embark on- vegetable gardening in the ground. I have never, in my entire life, grown a vegetable.

Not only do I have the challenge of growing something I don't know anything about, I'm now in a climate that is new to me and very different from what I have lived in for most of my life.

I don't really know where to start with this garden. I'm just going to dig in and see what happens. Wish me luck.
