My garden blog! =]

And so, I am starting a gardening blog! For me this will be a log of things that I learn as well as a place to write about gardening experiences and discoveries in everything from research on things like the evil of Monsanto and genetically modified organisms and the economic bullshit to self sufficiency and counterculture and a little bit of everything else too. I seriously want to grow my own veggies and herbs for starters and maybe some fruit and flowers too... When it comes to flowers I want to reclaim a piece of my past... I lost almost everything I own and am starting from scratch. I grew up surounded by plants in the large yards of my grandmothers and all the house plants indoors as well... Angie Case whom I look up to so much once said something along the lines of that I am relearning and rediscovering things I already knew... I didn't realize how much I did already know till I started poking around in Angie and her husband David's gardening group. This gardening group is so inspiring and such a great community full of wonderfully active and creative minds where everyone is kind hearted and generous with their sharing of knowledge, they make this new addiction of mine so fun. It not just about gardening it's about exchange of ideas and information, freedom of speech, you can talk to these people about a lot of things and have some of the most awesome conversations! There is also a great sense of genuine support, and caring kindness that just blows me away and I know that I am not alone, I know I am not the only one that feels at home being a part of this, a part of a little family even if not many of us know each other in person. I feel so lucky to be encouraged to learn and grow... It's exactly what I have needed. I've been in a new City with seriously limited interactions... In fact I am currently on a scouting trip with my love Winter to find us a new home. We have a handful of ideas we're working on... The one I hope for most is for him to get this job at the company his friends that we are staying with work at, there is a lovely little cottage here that I would love for us to rent. I want more then anything to have a place of my own where I can grow things and play at my arts and crafts like my wire work and quilting. I plan to try and trade my wire charms for seeds in our group, I seem to have a lot of people interested. =D So this is me and the goals of the blogging... I hope if you read this you find some useful information! Have a wonderful day or night! <3
