Hi,
My name is Renee and I live just north of Pittsburgh. I really just started getting into gardening this summer. Right now it's all in containers, as we live in a townhome, but my back deck and front porch are FULL of plants. I have annuals, houseplants spending the summer outside, and some veggies, (tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, cucumbers, and a bunch of herbs). It has been so neat to make dinner with thing that I grew.
I have always been "into" sustainable living, but have become more aware of all of the little things that pollute our world and I'm trying to make changes in my life. I try to REDUCE and REUSE as much as possible. I've also cut out store bought cleaning products and have been making my own. (My Grandma didn't have any "fancy" cleaners and her house was ALWAYS sparkling clean.) I still need to find a natural laundry soap and dishwasher soap though. I've also been buying more beauty products that are healthy and natural, no parabens etc...
We're looking at buying a home soon, and I can't wait to be able to have a big garden to tend. I also plan on getting some chickens, and have already ordered some of the books that Patti suggested.
take care
