The Idea of this Blog

My goal from this blog is to show how a typical person can grow an organic garden that provides some kind of produce for themselves 365 days a year (366 on leap years). The official start of the "year" will be July 1st and I will give a list of what has been harvested and try to show what something like this would cost in a grocery store.

My family lives on a typical lot (1/8 of an acre) in a small town in Northern California. I have planted fruit trees since moving here and I will list them in a future post. We also have 8 small veggie garden plots and currently have two bee hives (for honey and pollination).
