Dreaming of Gardens and Food...

Life is starting to get back into a groove. It seems we have been so busy! I like life at a little slower pace... I guess  it's the country in me. It's winter, I like to hibernate, plan my garden, read, and cook.
I have a couple reviews, I really want to get done. I'm also reading a wonderful book... The The Heirloom Life Gardener, all I can say so far is I can't put it down! 

Are you all dreaming up your own garden plans for this spring?

I love taking pictures of the food we cook and eat...
It gets me all excited to get back into the garden, and grow potatoes, blackberries, and such! We do live in Idaho, and we like our root crops.

We just moved onto our rental property 6 months ago. We've been discussing where to put the garden. Our land came with 20 acres of pasture covered in tall grasses that are all lying flat & brown under the snow right now. Where do we even start? lol! The ground is hard as a rock and hidden below all that grass. Do we just till the grass under? Borrow a tractor? I'm just thinking out loud here. It's going to be a different adventure than just building little garden boxes and filling them with store bought soil like we did at our old suburbia house! lol!! We're excited to grow lots of potatoes too. :)

Aubrey, how exciting... You should watch Back to Eden at http://backtoedenfilm.com/ I really want to try this amazing method this year!
When we first moved to our land we had so much clearing to do, so I totally understand ;)

That movie sounds great. I'd love to watch it but we live way out in the boonies. Our internet is too slow to play movies. I looked it up on Netflix but they don't have it. Bummer!
