About dbjc364
I live on 1 acre with my mate-Jim,and a 20 lb.ceramic turtle that I dont have to feed.We are currently remodeling this 1932 house, and property,being organic.Our plan is to plant,and not stop till the fat lady sings.Our current small blueberry orchard now holds 30 bushes-and we estimated will hold 70. Of course on the rest of the property-there's still plenty of room for more.We have a small patch of black raspberry-strawberry,perennials,small shrubs,Lilacs,one Mountain Ash tree,a Comfrey bed of 19. Kiwi is planned as soon as the Pergola gets built.I grew up in a family of 5 kids,on Cape Cod, parents being Diy'ers & avid recyclers,me being in the middle,yes-in psychological terms they call me the problem child.I have one daughter-who is 27,married- with one grandson,who is turning 3, and I am his sitter,3-4 days a week.I am now pushing 50-I work part-time now-self-employed cleaning,demolishing this house,and working the gardens.We are into solar power,and plans to build our own solar hot air collectors are on the list.There aren't enough spaces for me to list the plants../ oh-ya...and I liikke chocolate.

Sometimes I'm safer in the garden,,or the gardens safer with me-

As we get into the fall season more-there's less & less to do outside for many of us. We got the plastic on the lattice tractor carport done,and all the junk moved under cover away from the garage. Some of its garage sale stuff for next year- some is...
