Hello! I live in Virginia Beach, VA along mosquitoes which are my main deterrent from basking in gardening. My husband has a lawn maintenance businesss, and I homeschool (starting my 19th year with two high school students. My 27-year old step-son graduated from homeschooling years ago!).
I grew up with no gardening experience whatsoever though my mom did keep a small garden. After meeting my husband, I became quite interested in landscape design. He designed beds for me, and I chose the plants and helped him plant them. We keep a very small herb garden with a couple vegetables, but as our income has been decreasing and the single-income family has become a greater struggle, I decided to turn to more growing for food.
I love my patio shade garden and our sunny perennial border. I would prefer to start mixing in some edibles in the border garden though. We live on a very small property. I planted a few cool season vegetables (mostly greens) a few days ago because our front stamped concrete patio gets quite a bit of sun, and I figured it would be a good way to easily start some food growing. I also placed an earl producing tomato plant and some broccoli, cabbages, and onions in our small herb/vegetable garden. Wish me luck!
I've been loving the podcasts by the way!
