I have been gardening for over 10 years, growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, fruit, and more in a 1,200 square foot garden here in rural Illinois. I also like to share from-scratch cooking and baking recipes, chicken raising tips, and other realistic and practical semi-homesteading tips you can implement in your own busy life.
