Welcome to Earthformed
Thank you for joining me on this journey of the Earth. Ever since I was a teenager I have enjoyed gardening. My sophomore year in high school I was home schooled and one project was to take care of a 1/2 acre vegetable garden without the use of mechanized tools. Well, my dad did till the ground, but I had to break up the big pieces of clay and amend the soil and sow the seeds with a hoe, rake and trowel.
That project did more than just provide a harvest it helped me lose 25 pounds and gain a heap of confidence. It was great when returning to school the following year I remember the guys jaws dropping and my classmates barely recognized me - tanned and toned. Now 12 years later and finally with a property I can call my own my little girl and I will be undertaking the project of beautifying our little plot. I have more like 60 pounds to lose this time, but I hope that this project to get us outdoors will help that aspect of my life too.
All the things I learn along the way I’ll post here for all to read. My successes, my failures and many other things will be included. Thanks again for joining me!
If you lost 25lb before by gardening before .. you just have to work twice as hard or twice as long and you’ve almost reached your goal!
Now you must please excuse me while I duck outside and dust down my spade which I intend to wield three times longer than you did.
