bean1082's Profile

I am a 29 year old, Gen Y-er. I am really drawn to gardening and have made a few attempts, but I feel completely inadequate and overwhelmed by it. My mother didn't really garden much, so aside from my Veteran grandmother, I've had no contact with gardeners. My husband and I used to own a house, but it was in Florida and I wasn't interested in gardening in that environment. Now that we've been renting the last few years in VA, I've been dying to have a small veggie garden and some flowers. But, there is always the concern about the landlord and the amount of money it costs, especially in the beginning. One final thing that is a challenge for me, is that I have another hobby that is considered unusual for a person my age....I knit. And I am more likely to spend my time knitting and spend my money on yarn and needles, than on gardening.
That being said, I'm still looking forward to trying a few plants this year :)

I LOVED Andrew Henry's Meadow. Which reminded me of 2 of my other favorite stories that had once been my parents' childhood books...Harvey's Hideout and We Were Tired of Living in a House

Also, the Winnie the Pooh books and Corduroy were favorites.
