I'm here... Barely, but here. I had a heck of a time finding this women's group... Pretty awesome!!! You finally got it T.C.!!!! :lama:
My computer time has been minimal, but my son will be here tomorrow or Sunday, so I'll actually have time away from being full time Gramma... oh my gosh. I'll be able to have a life again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to be changing my name soon... maybe Stepford Gram. I can't believe I've made it two and a half months with three kids, a big 'garden,' horses, dogs, cats, mice, snakes, laundry, cleaning, cooking, school functions, homework...etc...etc...etc... I've been still growing indoors and for the amount of time I 'haven't' put in that I should have... I'm amazed I have a crop at all. :giggle:
No wonder my last couple harvests have sucked!!! :giggle:
Hey Melissa... if you read this... you changed your name??? I think I know who you are. I haven't had time to investigate. hahaha.
Anyway, greetings fellow female growers. I've been real curious about female growers and their techniques and want to get a book going about the ins and outs of being a women in this 'man's world' of growing.
Like my history growing for over twenty years off and on indoors and out, I've found the men in my life to be very stubborn and resistant to a 'woman's knowledge or insight' and just wondering your take on this.
If that topic has been covered I apologize. I haven't had time to read every entry yet.
I'm real excited about sharing ideas with other women on how they cope with children around a gardening situation and the precautions taken. Especially with teenagers!!!! My grandkids have made a few comments on my 'art studio' and 'Oh Gram's out 'painting' again... and 'How's the tomatoes?' I've been very careful about keeping everything out-of-sight...
My own three children, who are grown now, were raised in a very liberal, rural Humboldt County, so anyone who DIDN'T grow was weird to them. I am not exaggerating. All their friends parents had gardens, so it was simple with them. No big deal. They even helped. And I want to add that they are all turned out just great young adults!!!! :rofl: Only one smokes regularly... So I don't think it leads kids to harder things! :giggle:
Hope this all makes sense... I'm pulling double shifts... Kids on days, gardening at night... makes for one exhausted 50 year old... but 50 is the new 40... and I'm inmature... so that puts me at 35, which is the age I choose.
Just checking in to let you all know I'd like to join with you here if it's ok with all you ladies... Is there an initiation??? I hope so... let's think of something!
Ettesun..... (Oh I am kind of attached to that name...)
Hey 4U... are you reading this??? Are you a member... too cute! Silly guy!
:rofl:
