'It's hard to appreciate what you have until it's gone.' I'd heard the saying many times, but the lesson only really hit home after I moved from the England in the United Kingdom to the state of Florida in the United States.
From driving on the wrong side of the road, to the change in diet and of course the heat, the endless searing heat, I was bewildered by all of the changes that suddenly occurred, but gradually adapted and even thrived in this strange new environment.
After a couple of years of kicking around apartments, we managed to buy a small townhouse and I looked with some small measure of dismay at the concrete slab in what I would laughingly be calling our garden. Gone I thought was my dream of emulating the rich tillered backyard of my parents vegetable garden back home... At least until now.
Though this blog I will share my thoughts, experiments, failures and successes as I turn my concrete slab into my very own Concrete Vegetable Garden.
