I live and garden in northeast Ohio, battling urban deer, rocky clay soil, a full-time-plus workload and a general impatience for harvesting. I’m a novice a newish gardener, (still) hoping that my enthusiasm makes up for lack of knowledge. While I like baba ghanoush, I’m uncertain if I’ll ever grow eggplants. I hope you can be OK with that.

I am looking forward to reading about your adventures. I’m also happily looking forward to tasting the bounty from the friendship seeds you’ve sown with my lovely wife.
Love you, Dee!
I nominated you for the Liebster Award. Check it out here,
From a novice gardener to another, good luck! Gardening is challenging to say the least. And the deer, oy! I had them go thru my entire tomato plants a couple of years ago, before the fences were put up. I thought it was some lady in stiletto when I saw the hoof and teeth marks! That was how novice I was!
