My First Post!!!

I've long been described by my friends as a technological dinosaur. I don't have a cellphone (I know, I know...), I rarely email and I update my Facebook page with even less frequency. Needless to say, the idea of blogging is very daunting to this old soul and admitted technophobe. However, much to my own chagrin, I have come to a two-fold realization of late;

1. No matter how excited I am over my burgeoning strawberry plants, my close friends and family have a threshold for my musings on this topic.

2. I need some sort of outlet for this energy, especially one that has the potential to help me become a better gardener and/or writer.

Thus, with little fanfare the "Adventures in Urban Gardening" blog is born. It is my hope that I can share stories and anecdotes from my patio planter garden, while soliciting advice on how to tend my crops and keep those darn squirrels and birds at bay. (You may hear a great deal on the latter topic) I hope to implement my blog with pictures as soon as possible, however (as you may have guessed by now) I am digital camera-less. Anyway, a blog has to start somewhere and to those who may stumble upon it, thank you.

With a Happy Heart and Green Thumb,

Sylvan Strawberry Farmer
