About Big Blog Of Gardening
To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves - Mohandas Ghandi
Thanks for checking out Big Blog Of Gardening. I started BBOG in 2009 to share information on caring for your flower gardens, vegetable gardens and lawn using only organic methods. Recently I’ve also added sections on Food and the Environment, since all of these topics dovetail together.
I grow and write in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, which rests where the Lehigh and Delaware rivers meet, about 70 miles northeast of Philadelphia and 80 miles west of New York City (just so you have an idea). I also spend a great deal of time photographing whatever I find interesting. You’ll find much of my garden work in the posts here and a page devoted to it: photos of organic vegetable and flower gardens.
At my home in Pennsylvania, I grow as much food as possible – organic vegetables, herbs and fruit – with a focus on sweet corn, beans, tomatoes, basil, sweet peppers, parsley, carrots, potatoes, spinach, thyme, cucumbers, mint, melons, raspberries, blackberries and pears. I also find myself continuously expanding my flower garden when not in my vegetable garden or climbing the pear tree. My wife claims I have “a plant problem” and I think she’s right.
I’m not formally schooled in horticulture or botany, but I started gardening when I was in elementary (primary) school, alongside my mother and grandmother. There were more than a handful of farmers in our family until the current generation, so you might say growing things runs in my blood. As many gardeners have, I’ve learned from experience and listening to the wisdom of previous generations, and I add to my knowledge with an ever-expanding personal library devoted to all things plants.
