Why am I doing this?

I've now got a garden for the first time ever, and so can finally have the vegetable plot that I have wanted for ages.  The trouble is, I have no idea how to grow vegetables!  What should my seedlings look like?  How long before they germinate and most importantly, when can I eat them?

This blog hopes to document my results and with the aid of a few photos, and a week by week update of seedlings and plants up to the day they get harvested.

One of the problems I had while being impatient for seedlings to pop up was knowing what they were supposed to look like.  By documenting what they look like here, hopefully this will help others.
