Spidra

I have a disability that affects my hands. Yet I like gardening. I have started a blog called “The Gimpy Gardener” to talk about my gardening, not ignoring how the disability affects it. http://spidra.vox.com

Though I put down that I’ve been gardening 3 years, I actually went through a couple years of amateur gardening when I was a kid. Then, as now, my emphasis was food gardening. My parents’ place still has the guava tree and many of the other things I used my allowance money to buy and plant. But I was away from gardening for decades and have only recently started again. And I still feel like there’s so much to learn. I joined the California Rare Fruit Growers about 3 years ago as well and they have helped me educate myself.

I’ve signed up to be in the 2008 course of Alameda County Master Gardeners.
