HI and welcome from Texas!

I had a grandmother who was very interested in self-sufficiency. She always had a garden and it fascinated me. I thought it was very cool to walk outside to the yard and grab free food, lol. When I became an adult I got to put my own ideas into place. Gardens, animals and a general attitude of thriftiness and frugality.

What interests you?

i grew up with gardens around and loved them myself and learning about plants after i was able to read practicing on houseplants all the various techniques for plant propagation. and i also like nature, bugs, dirt, water, microbes, etc. i spent a lot of time with Mom helping to put food up.
