This is intended to spread awareness of the importance of bees. Without them, we wouldn't have many of our favorite foods!

Hello! I'll be uploading photos of my journal that I have been using to collect information for this site! I will also be uploading ideas for my garden after I get all the measurements taken. My computer keeps being really slow whenever I try to upload photos and it is stressing me out. :(

I was finally able to upload my photos onto my computer, and lemme say, I took more than I remember! I have been unable to get bed measurements due to the weather, but I can still read my book and dream on. The book is called "Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening: A Beginner's Guide To Starting A Healthy Garden" And it is written by Deborah L. Martin. This book is super helpful and gives so much helpful information. So far from flipping through it a couple times it covers topics such as: Rotation gardening, types of soils, plants to grow, friendly bugs or pests, tools, etc.
Hello! So I have the photos, but a little problem came up. One of my memory cards broke so I can't get the photos off of it anymore and I had to wait to get my school laptop to use my other memory card. So I will be getting more photos uploaded soon, hopefully this weekend. I have gotten a new book recently and it is perfect for this project. It covers how to do different kinds of organic gardening, types of plants, bugs, etc. As a final way to finish my personal project I am going to be putting together a garden at my house.

Due to the fact that I was unable to draw, I actually started collecting plants, researching organic methods,using organic foods, showing my love for farmer's markets, using items that are second hand, and just being more power conservative at home. I have 2 sprouted pansies, a full grown who is kinda sick, and a pansy that I am waiting for to sprout. I also have 2 cacti, an aloe, a waxy agave (several actually), a sprouting leaf from a jade plant, and a chicks and hens succulent. I have been buying clothes from my local goodwill, and I have found some pretty great stuff from there. Most of the books I own are either well loved from the moment I bought them, from a thrift store, or from my grandparents. I own several books that are printed from before the 1950s. I have driven my family to the point of madness when it comes to using natural light. If it is bright and sunny outside, I open all the blinds in the house and soak in all the sunshine.
