What Stacy does at parties - At my gardenin' grannies 80th birthday party, I hung out with the plants. (photo)What's new with Stacy... Not much! I've been rooting plants like crazy, starting late crop seeds, and visiting my gardenin' granny.
How did you get started in gardening? I've always had a big plant influence in my life — my grandmother — but I didn't really start gardening until I got ill and my medical issues kept me housebound. It's been downhill ever since, and I now have plants out of my ears!
Where do you get your ideas? My ideas are usually born of my limitations and laziness. I love to try new things and love new plants, so I drop and run. A year later, they either stay or end up part of my 'mobile garden'. I love to look at books, but I truly lack any creative vision for planning. At least I seem to have pretty good instincts.
What are you currently working on? I'm currently working on a massive new bed that I've recently dug out. It's coming along, but it won't be in it's full glory until next year. I'm also working on moving plants from my foundation beds in preparation for house renovations.
Is your Etsy your full time job? I wish! I'm currently bumming out, waiting for tests to come in and for my health to magically reappear, with the occasional copy writing gig.
What do you do when you are not gardening? I read, play with my pooch, clean, the usual. Recently, I've spent a lot of time getting estimates for siding, roofing, and flooring. It's almost too hot to garden, at the moment, so I settle for my daily walk-abouts and hour or two of outside time.Recommend a book? I just finished Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie. A short, sweet story.
Favorite from-the-garden recipe? Fresh tomatoes! I like to slice them and layer the slices with salt and balsamic vinegar. Fresh, light, and a great summer snack. Yum!
