Hi, I’m Deirdre
I’ve been doing organic gardening in the city, on a large corner lot. Lots of roses, and herbs, and this year, in honor of being laid off, trying for lots of vegetables too. And a nice big compost pile, so even the weeds don’t go to waste.
I’ve been blogging about life in general, and lately have started including pictures of the garden, including the tiger swallowtails that have been hanging out in my yard lately.
Most recently I started a cyberfunded creativity project, posting fiction on my blog. My current plan is to post at least once a week, and to let people know that the more feedback I get (in comments and/or sponsorships) the more often I’ll add fiction. If you’re not signed in to LiveJournal, please let me know who you are when you comment, so I can greet you properly.
Everyone is welcome to drop by!

Organic gardening is a good project. Lots of people this year have been starting or expanding gardens because of the poor economy. I’m trying upside-down tomatoes (so far, green fruit but nothing ripe) as well as my usual fruit and herbs.Hurray for tiger swallowtails!
Sometimes we get them here. Our dominant species are monarchs, red admirals, and painted ladies.

My father is an organic gardener, and Gaiaist. I, however, was abandoned by Gaia at an early age when I realized that I had a black thumb that could even kill plastic plants (no, really. I have one losing its leaves in the living room as we speak).
I blog mostly about life with four teenagers, and what life was ike when the kids were little, but I have recently started a series on the history of motherhood, and that appears to be where we intersect. It’s a tell-it-like-it-is history of the stuff that was perpetrated on women since the beginning of recorded history.
Feel free to drop by.

Even a black thumb has its uses. I have a friend with that talent. When she visits, I have her admire the poison ivy in my yard. That usually whomps it down somewhat.
