I teach people how to grow their own food, using organic methods. I have been helping in the garden since I was about 4 years old. In the beginning of 2009 I moved into a new house and have spent the last year learning my micro environment so that I can plant in every conceivable space. I stay in a wooded suburb on a north facing slope; the trees around the property leave me with very little full sun.
