Hello from Michigan

This is my first garden in years and its going to be a straw bale garden. Im so excited!!! I have started my seed inside and have a few sprouting. We bought a fixer upper in WV for retirement. We will be doing a lot of gardening there so thought I would start practicing and plan on doing a lot of canning and freezing. Looking forward to meeting new people and getting a lot of advise!!!

Welcom to Dave's Garden (also known as 'dg')! That does sound exciting--all new gardens! If you haven't found it yet, here is the straw bale gardening forum, where you are sure to get lots of info from nice folks:

Enjoy!
