Due to the influence of MissViolet and fellow plurkettes, I've decided to go out in search of my inner farmgirl. To explain, the farmgirl movement was started by MaryJane, and focuses on the simpler, home-focused days.
Our first project as part of The Plurkette Hencircle is to introduce yourself and our need to find that inner farmgirl. I'm a 25 year old married grrl, who grew up in the suburbs. However, I grew up amongst an apple tree, blackberry bushes, and several small garden patches. Needless to say, I miss it. I've attempted growing a few herbs from seed, but committed hopeless foliage homicide each time. I also spent a good deal of my childhood at my grandparent's cottage where we learned about hiking, animal tracks, plant identification... all that good stuff. Truth be told, neither the husgeek and I belong in the city. Until we can move to a plot with room to spread we will just have to bring that goodness into our own home.
Here's a short little list of things I'm really interested in doing to further my farmgirlyness: Make jam. Sew an apron. Wear said apron. Bake more bread. Bake muffins from scratch. Grow green onions, garlic, some already herb plants. Disconnect to Reconnect for a FULL weekend. That's just skimming the top right there.
Also, I plan on ordering MaryJane's book tomorrow morning!
