Hello everyone! I just joined.
I'm Lorie. My husband and I have 4 acres outside Quakertown, Pennsylvania.
We have two children, our son is 13 and our daughter is 11.
My husband grows sweet corn, about an acre and a half of it, and I have my large veggie garden which this is the second year I have grown everything from seed and my flower beds. I am just starting to grow herbs this year.
Our only animals are our dog and my son's two sea snails from a science project long ago.
Both of us grew up on farms and living the simple life, and would never trade it for anything.
I am so glad I found this site and magazine, just browsing all the topics I am constantly learning and I feel right at home.
Can't wait to meet you all, Lorie

Thanx Toni for the kind reply.
My garden is coming along, we had a very wet spring and early summer here in the east, so I did need to replant some things. I'm having trouble with beans,carrots and beets.

Hi Lori !
We're neighbors, sort of. I live up near Mt. Pocono (Cresco, actually, but nobody has ever heard of it)! I have to tell you a funny story about Quakertown. My friend and I were looking for a place near Quakertown and put the address in his GPS. When we got there, the voice on the GPS kept calling it Quackertown (quack, like a duck) - we were laughing so hard we almost missed the exit on the highway!!!
Anyway - welcome to the group! I'm fairly new too and have already learned so much!

Luanne, that is too funny!
My husband has GPS in his truck, and some of the names, especially in our area being PA dutch names, is hilarious.
I know about where you are, and I have heard of your town. Thank you for the welcome :) Lorie

That's so cute "New Sprout"!!! LOL It made me instantly think of the really old Jolly Green Giant commercials. Probably way before your time, but it was cute also. The giant had a little boy that was a sprout.
Welcome!! Smiles, Melody June

Welcome Lori!!! 
I'm glad you found us :) Your gardens sound wonderful! Have you ever made Corn Cob Jelly? I was just thinking about that the other day. I have never made it nor tasted it but was curious :) I look forward to getting to know you better :)
