Hello everyone this is glades girl. I am so glad to have stumbled across this sight. There are so many wonderful women with great insight and so much to share. I use glades girl because i was raised in the everglades. I have always lived on farms and most of my family still has one, thats each member. I have one dog named Italy, shes 120 pounds of laughter.3 cats Jackie chan, grass hopper, and bengal. Two children, one 11 year old daughter and a 19 year old in colledge they also enjoy the farm life. unfourtantely we only have an acre now and each time i try a full garden it fails. But i do grow beautiful tomatoes. Ive had araconda chickens which lay beautiful colored eggs and many other types. I have nice flower gardens and lots of wonderful worms. I cant wait to move into a wonderful old farm house and start all over again. I just talked my mother into flower gardening and she is great. She has a small farm in south carolina and supplies me with all the fresh veggies i can handle, she cans everthing. Im still trying to grow veggies i guess i'll have to use raised beds its just to wet here. Thanks to evryone who created this sight. lynn. |

Jan,
Good to meet you and congratulations on your new home-place! I love Herbs as well...I read all that I can on them and grow as many as possible.
I also have goats and really love working with them! They are Nubian.
Dee :-)

Hello from the midwest! This is my first time to the forum and I was soooo excited to find the web site. I have been reading up on all the forums and just love it! I live in a small town in Illinois of approx 1000 people and have lived in the village "proper" untill last December when my dream of owning a house in the country finally came true. I have driven past the house for the last 15 years and behold -one day there was a for sale sign at the end of the drive! It was truely a blessing when the 100+ year old 2 story farm house came up on market...We only have an acre, but I (with some help) have tried to make some gardens even in the first season of living there(I just had the last yard the way I wanted it). I have 2 "girls"..named Sophie and Juilette-They are Nubian/Boer mix. I have always wanted goats, and maybe I will attempt to make some milk products.
My main interest is HERBS...Someday, I would like to start a business but for now, just imagining the possibilities (sorta) keeps me content.
I purchased MaryJanes book and devour it every chance I get-which is quite impressive for someone who doesnt like to read very much. I have a sister who lives in Idaho Falls Idaho, and hope maybe I can take a trip to MaryJanes farm when I go to visit.
Jan from Illinois
P.S. I have never done a "chat" room before so I am still trying to figure this out...I ended up posting on the Chicago Tribune forum...Hopefully, this time I can get it right...Duh

You are most welcome here Glades Girl! Sounds like you have a super set up with your mama! Isn't that what it is all about, helping each other. I am also happy to hear your children also enjoy farm life! BTW your cat Jackie Chan makes me wonder if he is acrobatic?? :-)
Blessings,
Philly Farmgirl

Welcome, glades girl! Growing up around the Everglades must have been interesting. That part of Florida is a wonderful ecology, though it is humid and damp. Lots of development going on there, now, and I bet it is a lot different than when you were growing up.
Glad to have you here!
