Welcome to my Blog

Hi, my name is Suanne and I am writing this blog to share some of the tips and recipes I have learned or created with our backyard garden. The garden itself is actually my husband John's but we have had a garden for over 25 years so I have picked up some garden knowledge along the way. We live in Austin, Texas so we are blessed with a year long growing season. We always have something to eat from the garden and this pretty much dictates what we eat. All of our meals are planned around what happens to be growing at the time. One of the biggest challenges is what I like to call crop maintenance. What to do with all of the vegetables? Beyond sharing with the neighbors and friends I am always trying creative approaches to preparing the bounty. So the blog seemed like a good way to both keep track of and share my recipes.

Green Corn Project Spring Dig in

John and I led a group of about 15 volunteers in the first dig in for the 2010 season this weekend for the Green Corn Project. We refurbushed and existing garden for an immigrant shelter in Austin called Casa Marienlla. This major benefit to the dig-ins beside helping to feed people that may be either physically or financially challendged is that it helps to educate people in how to garden and provides hands on experience in how to prepare a garden for planting.

Here is a link to the GCP Site: http://www.greencornproject.org/gc/
GCP is a all volunteer run organization so check out the site. There are many opportunities to help out.
Thanks to all of the volunteers that came out with us yesterday!
