Welcome to Empress of Dirt!
Here’s the scoop—
GARDEN
I love everything about gardening and that’s my main focus here.
This includes:
- Year round food growing using organic and sustainable practices | Seed saving, seed starting, and propagation.
- Creating a vibrant perennial garden that attracts bees, birds, and many others creatures (great and small).
- Making garden art from repurposed items | I share lots of projects here.
HOME
We live debt-free, creating a life we enjoy. I encourage everyone to step away from expectations and obligations that keep you from living the life you want.
I also occasionally write about money management, household organization, cooking, and anything else that amuses me.
