Welcome to Garden Vita

I am using this blog to document my journey as a gardener. I began my first vegetable garden in Spring 2011 in Austin, Texas. I started this page in January 2012, during planning and prep for the Spring 2012 season. The links below point to lists of many fantastic informational sites I have found in my garden googling and have bookmarked. Enjoy!
