Hello Blogsphere!

Welcome to my little corner of the gardening world! Hi, my name is Mike, or as I was sometimes called back in school, Jolly Green Giant. It is here that I hope to share my efforts as a home gardener - what worked and what didn't. My wife has been pushing the organic foods lifestyle for awhile so it was only natural to take this dive into gardening.

Depending on how you look at it, we are either fortunate or unfortunate enough to have over 2 acres in which to play. We built our house over 7 years ago and the "yard" has been undergoing a slow evolution. The property is heavily wooded with monster pine trees, sweet gum, oak trees, and a wild? mulberry tree which is my favorite. The property also still has a heavy dose of the wild underbrush that includes youpan, American Beauty Berry, and lots of vines. The vines have been growing on this property for all ages and have literally choked some of the oak trees. The wild vines include grape, trumpet, Virginia Creeper, and........poison ivy. Lots of poison ivy.
