I have been away from the blog and away from my business www.gardenchick.com for a number of months. My father was diagnosed with cancer in November, and after chemotherapy did quite well. In fact, we broke ground on a new garden in his backyard in April, and he was able to plant tomatoes, okra, and green beans. He said it was his best garden in years. His cancer resurfaced in July, and had metastisized to his brain. This proved to be too much, and after 12 radiation treatments my father died on August 16th. I am thankful God gave him one last garden. I look forward to a renewal of my blog, my business, and plans for future gardens. It is what my Dad would have wanted.
