My berry patch

I went to an AMAZING gardening class in February and March and I found it extremely informational, helpful, and at the same time - way overwhelming. But, I've dived in to make a difference for our little "plot of land." I decided to use my small space in our yard for a berry patch. YUMMMMM! I tilled that soil with a shovel and did lots of stuff that I learned in my class! I planted lots (I MEAN LOTS) of strawberries and a row of raspberries too. I still have a itsy-teeny-bitty spot for doing something to be determined later. Our church has a large garden for members to use and I'm hoping that I could use a space there for some of the things I simply didn't have the space for (ie corn, a pumpkin, and a tomato plant). Here is the STARTing of something incredibly sweet!
