At 66 I have to admit that some of the newer forms of communication have me stymied. I have a Facebook page but not a clue how to properly use it; don’t have Twitter or any of the newer social media things; but what I DO have is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom (I hope) about gardening — why we do it, how we should be doing it, and what it means for the planet and ourselves.

This blog will share my experiences, including my Year One with my first backyard chickens: Jayne (Mansfield), Marilyn (Monroe) Betty (Grable) and Blondie (I am a big Deborah Harry fan). I hope you tune in often for gardening and chicken tips.
