As I promised last week I am going to start featuring organic gardening blogs on Mondays here at EcoZebra. I have been a gardener my whole life and love to follow the lives and gardens of others through their blogs. I also love to discover new gardening blogs so please feel free to send me links to any blogs you think are pretty cool and that I should feature here.

So since this is my first blog feature dedicated solely to gardening I am going to feature a blogger and gardener who is new to gardening and organic gardening. The blogger being Nate and the blog being SLC Veggies.

So what makes SLC Vegies so amazing? Well, let’s start with the determination of the blog founder, Nate. He is building a garden from scratch where the only things that existed before was a weed and grass filled lot and an asphalt driveway. Better yet, he has never done anything like this before. Even better yet he has a toddler and is fulfilling a residency at a local hospital. So, if anything, all that should tell you a lot. If he has time, we all definitely have time.

I am a descendant of farmers on both sides of my family, but I’m only just learning how to grow my own food. Join me for the adventure.

So apart from busily pounding up asphalt, creating a compost heap from scratch and laying out next years plots, what else is he doing? Nate is creating a gardening club in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City, which you can find here at Garden the Avenues.com.

I have been gardening ever since I can remember and I know that while I am amazed at the determination and creativity that Nate has employed. He truly is an inspiration to experienced gardeners and the beginners. You will absolutely find his site educational, informative and entertaining. If he can’t make you get up and garden, I don’t know who will.
