This summer, my best friend Seana McCroddan and I are attempting to grow an organic garden at her family’s property in the Blue Ridge mountains. Seana is also junior at James Madison University, and she is studying journalism as well. We decided to create a blog to record our experiences throughout the summer, as well as our thoughts on relevant topics in the mainstream media. We used WordPress to create our own domain at dirtyhandscleansoul.wordpress.com.

We debuted our blog on Facebook and Twitter several weeks ago, and received 194 views on our busiest day. The feedback has been great, friends and family with very little interest in plants or gardening have been very supportive.

Future blog posts will range from posts about Monsanto in the media to tips and tricks that we learn in the garden. New posts go up about twice a week, keep an eye out!
