Three peas in a pod.

My sweet boy.

My husband, Graham and I are so pleased to announce the birth of our son, Nathan James! He was born on November 24 at 8:13 pm.

If you’ve been asking to be added to the Green Thumb Blogroll, please have patience…I’ll be updating the blogroll when our babymoon is over!

Raising our kids, and a garden, too!

My friend Amie, writer of Mamma Loves, will be hosting a live text chat today at noon (EST) with a Burpee Seed Co. horticultural expert at The Motherhood.  If you have questions about growing your own vegetables or gardening with your kids, jump right in!  There are also some seed giveaways planned, and this means super-economical gardening this spring for the winners.

Mouse & Trowel finalists.

The finalists for the Mouse & Trowel awards are up! Playing in the Dirt didn’t make the cut. Ah, well…I was happy to see my good friend Gayla Trail’s website, You Grow Girl is up for Best Forums and Garden Website of the Year.

Final voting is open until May 13th at midnight. It ain’t the Pennsylvania primary, but it’ll have to do!

So go and vote for You Grow Girl, and if you haven’t visited the site, get over there because you are really missing out!

In the future, I’ll be writing about vegetable gardens in general, community gardening, container gardens, herb gardens, kitchen gardens and orchards and fruit gardening.

Please feel free to come by and read my articles there, and join in the discussion.
