Week 2

I am beyond excited to be in this vegetable gardening class. I have always admired people who could grow their own food as it is such a practical skill to have. My goal is to be able to grow my own food that I can go directly to my kitchen and be shared with my loved ones. I believe this class will teach me the fundamentals of vegetable gardening and give me hands on experience in the garden. I expect to learn which crops are best in certain seasons, how to properly plant a vegetable, how to adequately care for the plant, and how to harvest the vegetables at the end of the process. I also expect to make mistakes in the garden that I can learn from. I have never grown my own food, so this will be a new experience for me. I used to volunteer in a local community garden, but most of my work involved maintaining a clear garden by pulling weeds, or putting mulch down. I have not yet experienced the full process of growing food, so I am looking forward to the skills I will acquire in this class which will be useful as I grow my own food.
