Hi there, I'm Melinda, the eldest among my five siblings. Gardening has always been my passion, and I find immense joy in tending to my garden. I have a deep love for flowers, and I take great pleasure in watching them bloom and flourish. Alongside my husband and our two boys, Franklin and Jasper, I strive to live a self-sufficient lifestyle, where we grow our own fruits, vegetables, and berries.  Exploring the world of gardening has been an exciting journey for me. I'm always eager to learn new techniques and discover different plant varieties that thrive in my garden. Of course, this process hasn't been without its fair share of challenges. I've experienced numerous setbacks and learned valuable lessons along the way. However, these experiences have only fueled my determination to create a thriving garden that sustains my family.  One of the things I enjoy most about gardening is the ability to create unique products from the herbs we harvest. I take great pleasure in making oils and tinctures from the herbs grown in my garden. Not only do these creations bring a sense of fulfillment, but they also provide an opportunity for me to generate income by selling them. It's truly rewarding to see the fruits of my labor manifest in the form of products that others can enjoy and benefit from.
