Garden Discovery

In my new quest to being healthy, I've learned things that I wish I hadn't learned and others that make me glad I did. I get a little more behind the idea of buy local and buy organic, for reasons I will touch on at some point. These reasons drove me to wanting a garden, well, my love of the outdoors also drove me to wanting a garden. So, the adventure begins...
Confession: I have a seed buying addiction. I love to buy seeds, all those different varieties just shout out plant me and I can't help myself. This morning I purchased sunberry seeds, which I will attempt to plant in containers on the patio. (Not much space left in the garden.) Evidently sunberries are a variety created by Luther Burbank in the 1900's, but some people think they are just a variety of the huckleberry. These plants are poisonous when eaten raw, so let's hope I can tell the difference.
Here is my attempt at gardening last year. We are in the process of doubling the garden size so stay tuned for the results...
