Hello all I’m brand new here from Wisconsin and just as new to gardening! Any plant I have ever tried to keep/grow. have resulted in a slow miserable death. Despite all of these failures I have always wanted to grow my own fruits and vegetables in a raised garden bed. However, understanding that I am the furthest person from a green thumb that could possibly exist, I have resisted the urge. Fast-forward a number of years and several attempts at growing Mint, and Basil from the supermarket my 13-year-old son asked just last Mother’s Day if I would get him a raised garden bed so he could start growing fruits and vegetables like one of his friends does. I couldn’t shove him in the car fast enough as we spent to the Local Home Depot to pick up a Small starter, raised garden bed, some soil and a number of different plants, including strawberries, tomatoes, basil, and some jalapeños for for fun. We got home, planted all these beautiful lush plants in this amazing looking raised bed. You couldn’t be happier. Fast-forward two weeks and the reality of my inability to grow green things it’s starting to set in and the plants are not looking as nice as they once did so I decided in a last ditch attempt to figure this out I would download this app. I kept seeing all over the Internet. Here we are today writing our first post and I couldn’t be more excited and hopeful to finally learn how to grow our own delicious fruits and vegetables. If you made it this far, I truly do want to say thank you. Any help it’s greatly appreciated and if there is someone out there, that’s willing to take the time to work with me one on one it would be forever grateful.
