leafsleeve's Profile

My name is Seth, I am 28 years old and live in upstate New York, 10 minutes from the Baseball Hall of Fame. I am an artist and a stay at home dad to my 4 year old son Braden and 10 year old daughter Cera. My wife's name is Christal, she works in the medical field. We live in a real old Victorian home that we absolutley love,  it is set on 55 acres of forest and fields. We have a Golden Retriever named Dylan, 12 rabbits, 13 chickens, and 7 ducks. I have been gardening since I was a little boy, I wound up going to college for it. I am learning every aspect of gardening, and am in the process of beginning to grow my own hybrids. I will cross a bananna and a strawberry someday. I love music, some of my favorites are Jim Croce, Bob Marley, Grateful Dead, The Doors, Bob Dylan and the list goes on...... I was raised by a father who was a police officer, and my mother who wrote children's stories. I spend  hours a night sitting in my grow room studying plants, taking notes, and studying their biology.
