You may or may not know that I am part of a seed ordering co-op. The idea is that with a bunch of us ordering seeds we can try a larger variety of things without having a bunch of wasted seeds, or spending a zillion dollars.

I am trying to figure out the best way to address this, it has already been [...]

Watched Glee . . . uhm . . . they have stolen all the cheeze and possibly the whiz too. Many things annoyed me, and some amused me. I seriously hope they were going for caricatures, because they certainly got them, and not always in a way that was okay for me (materialistic wife who hates her husbands dreams, minorities as spunky but useful backup, driven career girl and christian/slutty/blond cheerleader, evil high-school cliques, etc I could go on and on. Getting ready to go to Wiscon for my first time. As usual feeling trepidations and shy. I wish I [...]

I ran across Folia the other day. I haven’t played with it for very long yet, but it looks a bit like Ravelry for gardening. If you want to find me there my username is Whichy.
