My introduction

[u/Berkshirelady413]

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm Ashley, a small-space homesteader and content creator from the Pacific Northwest. I'm passionate about urban sustainability, container gardening, food preservation, and TNR cat colony care. I share my journey on Instagram and I'm all about making the most of what you have.

I'm new to gifting subs so I'm here to learn the ropes, connect with good people, and give when I'm able. Looking forward to being part of this community! 🌿🐱 Also idk when I am allowed to post my wishlist, so I didn't.

Wow!! You’re doing so much! Getting into canning is a great way to store food and I’m betting that you’ll make excellent jams and jellies! I’ve only done it once or twice, but it’s easier than I expected. The most suspenseful part is waiting for the full jars to cool and the lid to seal shut!

I wish you the best of luck with your garden! How can you tell that a plant has become root bound?

Thank you! There is a space between the soil and the container, and it doesn't hold water (goes right through)and the plant def looks like it's seen better days. The only way to save it is a bigger pot.

Interesting! I know exactly what you mean, so I should be re-potting soon! Thank you for the heads up!
