It has been my continued hope that these video's will help those hesitant on growing their own food to become more self reliant and sustainable. Whether you homestead or you're a hobby gardener, it is always healthier to grow your own food, it tastes better, and is more rewarding, even with the trials and tribulations of a difficult climate.

Join me for video's about urban gardening in downtown Cheyenne Wyoming in gardens that surround an old Victorian mansion built in 1883. I have been gardening for over 35 years having began helping with enormous market field gardening in the early 80's when I was no more than 6 years old. I grew up in the East Tennessee mountains on a small hobby farm with a 1/4 acre garden, a chicken coop filled with chickens, ducks, geese, turkey's, and I've had experience with horses, mules, cattle, pigs, donkey's, etc. I've always had a desire to garden, farm, and live a sustainable life.
