Hello from PNW!

Hello, everyone. I'm Kat, from the PNW, the Seattle area specifically. I started growing cherry tomatoes in Earthboxes three years ago when I decided that spending $10 a week on them at the grocery store was a bit too much. That kickstarted a bit of a gardening obsession in me. This year I'm growing 13 kinds of tomatoes, a bunch of greens, carrots, celery, beans, peppers, tomatillos, zuchinni and more!

While I'm certainly very enthusiastic, I've never had a real garden before this year. My family growing up were the grass lawn and shrub sorts, so I have never had a chance to grow things before my spouse and I bought our house. I have a lot to learn! I look forward to learning from you all!
