How Does Your Garden Grow?

Today I have decided to start my own blog. I'm always fascinated by technology and all that it has to offer and I'm hoping this is a way to share my thoughts and feelings with family, friends and anyone else who feels like joining in. I don't quite know what direction this blog will take yet, but I imagine I will talk mostly about the day to day things that happen. Just a little about me: I am the mother of two wonderful kids. Tyler who is 13 and Tori who is 8. I teach 6th grade English and Social Studies at Mount Logan Middle School in Logan, UT. My husband teaches P.E. at Woodruff Elementary. Right now we are all counting down the days until summer vacation (There's only three and a half days!!!) I enjoy summer and the time we get to spend together with family. My next projects are planting my garden and a possible garage sale. I have been trying to get raspberries to grow. Everyone tells me it's like growing weeds, but I've been trying for four years now without much luck. Actually, the weeds grow pretty good....just not the raspberries. Maybe this will be the year I can get the raspberries to grow. It ought to help that I live in raspberry country. Cache Valley Utah is known for growing good raspberries. My dad (who lives in Orem) tells me that some of the best raspberries come from around Bear Lake. I will be out in my garden tomorrow weeding and getting things ready to plant my garden again. My husband, Tom, wonders why I keep trying. I figure if I keep at it, I will learn how to do it. And besides that....I absolutely love raspberries.
