I moved to the Russian River area last year, not far from Steelhead Beach, and have just recently started to work in the garden out back that has been neglected for way too long. The landlord told me I could knock myself out back there, so I have been clearing out weeds and overgrown brush. (He had just recently purchased this property.) There is a huge, flat back yard, with a fenced area about 20' x 20' (a guess.) While I am finding it very therapeutic clearing it out, and am looking forward to growing something back there, the truth is, I really don't know much about gardening. I also have several potted plants that I have been lugging around with me. (I rent, therefore, I move.)
Most of my friends are scattered about Sonoma, Marin, and San Francisco, so I am looking for new friends up this way. When not working out in the garden, I play drums in 3 bands, enjoy baseball- I write for a baseball blog that gets about 10k hits/mo- backgammon, chess, TV crime dramas, and good psycho-thrillers. I am 420 friendly and legal, but haven't asked him yet if I could grow any of that, and I only use at night shortly before bedtime, and on rare, and I emphasize rare, occasion may smoke earlier than that. Very EZ alcohol, too.
