My name is Amy, I am a 30 year old soon to be divorced mom of 4 kids, ages 14, 12, 5 and 3. I make money by sitting on my butt all week at home, designing and building websites for small businesses.
I also like to garden – I’m guessing you knew that since this about me page is on my GARDEN BLOG. And digital scrapbooking – even though I have not done one page since my last was born 3 years ago. I love photography. I want to be a professional. I need training and a good camera for that, so I pretend for now. I enjoy cooking, when it’s not 500 degrees already in my kitchen (without central a/c, that means I don’t cook much in the summer). One of my most favorite things that I don’t get to do with everything else going on is getting outdoors. I love the beach and forests and rivers and waterfalls. I like to hike, and camp – at least when the kids are at ages that it’s not dangerous if my attention is on something else for a moment!
My Zone: It seems the government assigned this area zone 8, so I go by that when chatting online, but Sunset has a better system, so I use it as well. In their Western Garden book, I’m in zone 6.
About Garden of Eatin’:
Since my site is coming up better on the search results, I wanted to make sure anyone wondering knows I’m not trying to infringe on any copyrights. As I stated in a May 2008 post:
There’s a little place on I15 going between Idaho Falls and Pocatello with this big beautiful garden and a sign: Garden of Eatin’. I just remembered that I always wanted that sign on my garden (it’s been over a year since we moved from Idaho) so I figured my garden blog name is the next best thing.
Salem, OR
Hello there!
We moved to Salem a few months ago and just found your webpage (we love to garden!) while looking for local info on worm composting. 
Would you happen to know local suppliers for worms? 
Also what do you find grows really good here? Honestly everything we have planted thus far is doing very well (better than Albuquerque New Mexico.) Anyhow wonderful site we love it!
