Hi and thanks for adding me

I'm not an expert gardener or no expert in anything - I am just a person with ADHD and obsessive persistence who starts hundreds of projects and one happens to be a garden. I’ve been tending to my garden for the past 14 years on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I live in a rural area but in the development with a modest backyard and a clay soil which makes it a challenge! I’ve discovered that sometimes less is more when it comes to gardening, as my best crops seemed to thrive when I put in the least effort. Last year’s harvest reminded me of that - when practically nothing grew! Thankfully, my cucumbers and tomatoes—my absolute favorites—never let me down! :)

Dreaming big, I envision someday living in a serene green meadow nestled in between hills and woods, surrounded by acres of land and blissful solitude. I garden for the practical reasons - to be able to sustain ourselves in case the worst happens and also because I grew up in Lithuania where gardening and homestead was a big part of everyone's life. I am hoping that one day I will return to Lithuania and live a quiet peaceful life on my homestead there. Nice to meet you! 🌱
