I’ve always had a penchant for yard work and gardening. I grew up taking care of a 1/3 acre yard of shurbs, bushes, fruit trees and weeds. I think I did 6 hours of watering a week. I’m very proficient with lopping shears and a 5HP chipper shredder. I bought a spade headed shovel and a rake in college just to do some yard work around our rented duplex.

So it comes as no suprise that I need some sort of contact with plant life to balance out the urban fever. I have an indoor bonsai I bought online and had shipped UPS 2-day. I now also have an herb garden…well what will eventually be an herb garden–scallions, thyme, rosemary, mint and *hopefully* Thai basil. Yahooo.
