Welcome to my Blog!

I have never done a blog before but work is slow and my spring fever is high, so I thought this might be a way to keep my mind occupied.

For those of you who do not know me, here is a little background on me. I am a Landscape Architect that graduated from Iowa State University. Over the past 7 years I have worked in several different fields within Landscape Architecture, but fell in love with the residential aspect of the profession. I work for a design build firm in the western suburbs of Chicago, but live in Kansas, and love what I do.

Recently my wife and I bought our first home and now have the pleasure of practicing what I preach, which I am finding is harder than I realized.

Hopefully with this blog I will be able to post not only my successes in my first garden, but also my mistakes. I plan on posting pictures and letting everyone know how things are going, both good and bad.

Thanks for checking my blog out, and I hope you all come back soon.
