Gardening Adventures

In our first try at gardening we were naive enough to think "plant it and it will grow", well, that bubble was burst rather quickly.

When we decided to try and beat the rising cost of everything, a garden seemed the logical place to start - it's local (our land), it's convienent (right outside our backdoor) and it'll produce in direct proportion to our efforts (we thought).
