What kind of HOMEGROWN are you?
Dirt Under My Fingernails City Slicker
A bit about me:
Native Texan, longtime Chicagoan, now a proud Massachusette with a mean pecan pie recipe, a penchant for screen printing, a halfway decent backyard garden, and a totally pathetic mile run.
Latest greatest meal cooked at home:
An endive and romaine salad with carrots and cucumbers alongside a zucchini-squash-tomato-basil tart: a dinner that would have used a little of everything from my CSA if I hadn’t forgotten the garlic. (Note to self: Remember the garlic.)
Currently reading:
Gmail; The New York Times; Cook’s Illustrated; Texas Monthly; Wired; Rolling Stone; The Country of the Pointed Firs, by Sarah Orne Jewett; The Preservation Kitchen, by Paul Virant and Kate Leahy; clam shack reviews on Yelp; instructions for mesquite smoking brisket. Mmmm, brisket.
Currently listening to:
Dirty Projectors, Tune Yards, Yeasayer, and Willie. Always Willie.
My latest DIY project:
Screening outdoor movies in the yard—most recently Clue, on the patio, with a rope.
How did you find HOMEGROWN.org?

    Thanks Jennifer, for the welcome!

    I am so glad to have found this site.  I love to gain inspiration from other people's projects and experiences.  So wonderful!

    I have installed my huegelkulture livestock tanks in my small suburban yard, and my vegetables are looking good already!  I also planted some upside down veggies too.....hmmmm, I hope that works.  Will post some pictures soon.

    Happy Spring,

    Anita Hero (yup, my real name):)

    Jennifer,

    LOL!! Wehunt Wolff!!  That's awesome.

    Glad you are familiar with the Milwaukee area.  I am in a western suburb called Wauwatosa.  I am located steps from the Menomonee River, where I take my dog for adventures quite frequently.  Yes, Honeypie!  Everyone I know has eaten there except me....gotta change that.

    I would be happy to do a 101!  Now I could kick myself for not taking pictures of each layer.  Would you be editing it before posting it, I hope?

    Anita
