What kind of HOMEGROWN are you?

Dirt Under My Fingernails City Slicker

A bit about me:

I'm grateful to my Granny for teaching me the value of homegrown food, canning, cooking for your self, freezing, chickens, and wood stoves. She also taught me to identify trees, shrubs, and plants in the Great NW. Grandpa instilled the Warrior Spirit and taught me that real men are partners in the home and garden. Right now I'm an urban nomad without much room to grow my own food but I am doing my research and implementing the things that I can now, learning to live simply.

Latest greatest meal cooked at home:

Hot sauce glazed tempeh, sweet potato fries, and fresh spring asparagus

Currently reading:

The Urban Homestead. I'm not trying to suck up here, really!

Currently listening to:

Animal Collective, cLOUDEAD, PJ Harvey, Ani Difranco, The Books, Coil, Deerhunter, The Dodos, KRGA, Melt-Banana, Miles dsavis, Sigur Ros, Subtle, Tom Waits,

My latest DIY project:
