Where it all began:
My lovely little home garden began nine summers ago. I was finishing my sophomore year at Beloit College when I decided to reawaken our then-defunct raised garden. My mother used to grow vegetables when I was younger, but it had been many years. It took me three weeks and an extensive fight with the overgrown patch of Lemon Verbana (and I continue to fight with the damn Lemon Verbana every summer!), but out of it came the charming little garden you see here. It has since grown into something five or six times the size of what you see here, and continues to be quite rewarding.
