I'm a Virginia girl through and through. I was born here, I've lived here most of my life, and I love this state. My Mom always kept great fresh vegetables in the garden and my Dad grew apples in the orchard. Thanks to them I like fresh and local ingredients.
My husband and I live in Charlottesville where there are a ton of great local resources for fresh food. This summer we hope to grow a garden, and I'm sure you'll hear all about it on this blog. We have a springer spaniel who likes to run around like a maniac. I'm hoping he keeps the squirrels out of the garden!
