I’m very excited to announce that I’ve just joined The Growing Challenge started by Melinda over at ElementsInTime.com.  What a great idea!  I had planned on growing some new vegetables from seeds anyway and now I’ve found a group of people doing the same thing and sharing their experiences. Most of the participants are from the US, and they’ve got sprouts already.  I’m jealous – my yard is still covered in a foot of snow, and I think we’re getting some more tomorrow.

Here are the rules of the challenge:

1. For this challenge, you must grow one additional type of fruit or vegetable than you did last year, and grow it from seed.
2. If rule #1 is not enough of a challenge for you, you may make your own rules.
3. You must post about gardening once each week.  This could be a post about researching different plants, ordering seeds, buying pots, digging beds, planting the seeds, pruning, adding compost, all the way to preparing a meal that includes the food you grew.
