Hello!
Thanks for checking out my blog, Dig For Your Dinner. I’m a self-taught gardener living in Coastal Maine {Zone 6a}.
I have another blog, One Hundred Dollars a Month that I started in 2009. Since I started One Hundred Dollars a Month in 2009 it has grown from a teeny tiny blog about my home and garden life to one that attracts over a half million people on a monthly basis.
It’s been a wild ride. And as I interacted with readers over the years I began to get requests to do all sorts of different DIY, recipe and tutorial posts. And with the increased interest, came increased content variety.
Suddenly, my simple little home and garden diary grew into a full-blown blog and I’ve been blogging about everything from food waste to chickens to money saving tips; travel, remodeling projects and everything else under the sun since. And I’ve loved every second of it.
But, I wanted to get back to basics. I wanted my garden journal back. But I didn’t want to abandon One Hundred Dollars a Month, not in the slightest. So… I started this blog in the summer of 2015 with the intention to write about what I was growing in the backyard of the house we had just bought in a high maintenance suburbia.
As it turned out, the highly controlled HOA environment of my new neighborhood, quite frankly, sucked the life out of me as a gardener as everything I did in my yard was under a microscope. {I wrote about my feelings about the HOA house as I’ve come to call it once we finally sold the house.
You can read about it HERE if you want..
And well, 5 years, three moves and three houses later… I finally feel like we’ve landed in the right place so that I can pick up this garden blog again.
I LOVE gardening. And I want to get back to the day to day garden writing I used to do before blogging on One Hundred Dollars a Month became a full time job {which I LOVE by the way}.
A sort of second home for all the little things that don’t really fit into what One Hundred Dollars a Month has become.
So I hope you’ll stick around as Dig For Your Dinner grows into a blog about my gardening adventures here in Coastal Maine in what I’m hoping will be our forever home.
After all, it’s always an adventure when we can get our hands dirty, watch our gardens grow and then finally, after all that hard work, dig for our dinner.
