Hey everyone, I moved to Chicago 11 years ago and always said that I would start a garden since I hadn't had one since I was 17 yrs old. Sure I had the container full of lettuce or tomato, but I longed for a full garden again. After I lost a aunt to tainted lettuce and then there was the bad peppers last year I decided it was time and I went for it. So far so good, I have some containers and I have an area that I am using the square foot gardening method with. Oh and I also have put a beehive in the backyard (need those pollinators):D Well have to go for now I hope to talk to all later

Glad you could join us. I hope your garden grows well for you this year. You'll have to jump on over to the discussion about bees and let us know how things are going for you. Kim
