In terms of starting a garden, I am a complete beginner. I have never had my own garden, only helped others, and worked on a homestead. I have very little experience with caring for my own garden, but I am enjoying everything so far in this class. I spent a number of years at summer camp and I would always take a "homesteading" elective. The camp had a small homestead and seeing them grow their own food, process, and store it had adolescent-me in awe. I thought it was the coolest thing, and I believe this is what helped me develop a desire to start my own garden.
In particular, I would love to feel confident in growing my own food on a small scale. This has always been an interest of mine, but it's something I never saw myself having enough time to learn. Every time a friend, or neighbor has shown me something that they grew in their own yard, I thought it was awesome. It was something that I always had a desire to replicate. When I saw the availability of this class, I knew it was a class I would look forward to each time I had an assignment. I'm looking forward to the next class, where I believe we will start working on our own gardens.
