Gardener Name: Carlene Stewart
I've always loved to garden but for some reason before this garden I had only attempted to grow flowers.
I got a flier on my door announcing a meeting to discuss the garden. It sparked my interest to see what it might be about.
I just got caught up in the whole project and wanted to be part of it, initially I was intimidated and was not going to get a plot, I'm so glad I changed my mind.
I had experience in flower gardening, I had never grown vegetables so in this regard I am a real novice. Going into this I just tried to listen to those that had more experience and I followed whatever suggestions were offered, and my garden has been doing great. I try to visit the gardens every day and that seems to help a lot.
Cantaloupe, yellow squash, 3 different kinds of tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, yellow bell pepper and marigolds. Oh, and now I think we can all be sure, two HUGE sunflowers. My daughter suggested a hummingbird feeder and I put one up last week. While I was there a couple of nights ago one came to feed so they have found it!
Learning to grow vegetables has been a great accomplishment already. I've met wonderful people that give freely of their time and knowledge to help others and that has been a great bonus.
Stop by and meet Carlene at Plot A5!
