About wannabeherbal
I am currently 25 years old, and have been interested in things that grow for some time now. It has only recently become something of a growing obsession with me however, and my wife couldn't be more pleased that I'd rather be out watering my garden than inside playing my PS2.
My little garden has grown up quite a bit this year. I've tripled the number of plants and gotten a few "accessories" for it. The biggest thing (and possibly the only thing) holding me back from tripling it again is the fact that we live in an apartment, so all my plants have to be kept in pots on our deck. It's a 10' x 10' space, and I think we've capitalized on the space quite well. Hopefully within the year, we'll be moving into a house with some land...then I'll really go crazy. First things first though. My wife just gave birth to our first child on the 4th of July, and as much as I love my garden, my new daughter (obviously) takes the priority. ;)
