Quick Bio
I grew up in the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina where a common past-time was picking apples, wild blueberries, or blackberries, then taking them home to make pies, cobblers or jars of preserves. We also grew a yearly garden, even if we only had buckets and planters. It’s a tradition I want to pass down to my family.
I have always had a fascination with growing plants. It didn’t matter what kind, flowers, trees, fruits, or vegetables, if it came from the ground I wanted to try my hand at growing it. Some of my favorite things to grow are flower bulbs (nearly any kind, though daylilies and irises are top of the list here), tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash.
My dream is to one day live as much off the grid and be as self-sufficient as possible. I love growing and preserving my own food as it just seems to taste so much better. When I’m not in the vegetable or flower garden, I’m writing blogs, freelancing, working on novels, or collecting Star Wars and Marvel memorabilia.
