Hi, I'm new here and am also new with gardening. This year is our first garden, as we just moved to a house with a nice backyard!  We have a lot of work to do with the soil here, but there was a raised garden bed, so we planted a few tomatoes, peppers and peas in it.
And we have some tomatoes in pots too, and 1 artichoke plant, and a few strawberries.
I've tried to grow some corn in the sandy soil that's out there, but, my daughter thought she needed to pick the sprouts and now I have only a few corn sprouts left...how sad...
Anyways, I'm very happy to have found this website, there's lots of information here!
