How I did it: Doing it was very easy. I wish you did not have to constantly log in as I have forgotten the password several times and have had to reset it, which is a pain. Everytime you shut the computer down you have to log back in...but other than that it is a cool program. It's good if you have a lot of bookmarks or surf the net a lot and stumble upon the most interesting things. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Blood, sweat and tears. Working, a few family setbacks, a downsizing of my company and getting laid off. But after all was said and done, it was my dream and I did it! Would not have done it without the support of my husband who always had faith in me and put up with me. If you have one person to lean on and support you, anything can be accomplished.

I would like to start a garden but I do not live in a place that allows such things. I have a lot to learn. Maybe I should look to see if there is a community garden available. I need to get a rototiller of some kind and soon. After that I need to fertilize the soil. That should be easy enough as I am told I need to get some good soil and manure and mix it. I would like to start off with a vegetable/kitchen garden. I think I will get myself a small library of books on growing vegetables and study that.
