NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A diminutive Karlen Evins walks from her vegetable garden to the reassembled church in which she lives, her arms full of just-picked corn, tomatoes, herbs and okra, and drops them on her kitchen counter.

With the struggles of a new farmer as fodder, Evins’ aim three years ago was to blog a la Julie Powell’s challenge to cook all of the recipes in Julia Child’s first cookbook.

However, “Karlen’s Garden” has become more of a blow-by-blow account of witching for water, selecting the right seeds and the quirks of planting.

And it could evolve even further.

Evins has been approached about turning her adventure into a TV reality show on newbie farming. She is talking with a group of producers.
