Never pass up an opportunity to garden with children in your own "Garden of Weedin" | Howdy and a big ole welcome to ya'll! We were hoping you might be stopping by. That's why we kept the dogs tied up, our welcome mat and door string out for you. Pull up a chair and let me tell 'em who we are. We are Jerry and Sandy Miller, the owners of jerrysplantsonline.com, which is a part of Po'Folks Ozark Mountain Enterprises. I'm better known round these parts as the "Hillbilly Gardener". We live on the beautiful Ozarks plateau of Missouri where we raised our two children and are now helping to raise our two beautiful granddaughters. I am proud to be known as a frugal gardener that has been tending my Garden of Weedin and enjoying the outdoors for 50 years now and I enjoy sharing with other gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts alike. For me, this is and should be, the ultimate goal of every gardener and outdoor enthusiast. For me gardening and outdoor living go hand in hand and are each an extension of the other. Being a frugal gardener is a matter of choice born out of necessity that has led to a life-style. I dislike waste and I dislike seeing others waste time, effort, resources and especially their hard-earned money. |
Let's face it, times are rather tough right now for most of us and few folks can afford to waste what we have. I started web-surfing for information to complement and expand the knowledge I already possessed soon after the Internet started to take off back in the early 90's. Back then, information on gardening and outdoor living was hard to come by. We call it “hard as hens teeth to find”. What there was, was pretty lean and had very little meat on it (so to speak). Since that time, there has been a explosion of information and I have amassed a lot of information to complement my own and it is my desire to pass on as much information as others will accept. Gardening is indeed a relaxing , therapeutic and profitable pass time, but like most folks, I am not content to merely raise plants here in the Garden of Weedin. I want to learn, grow and be the best gardener I can be and knowledge is power over the present and future of my outdoor world here on this Ozarks plateau where I live. | 
With the explosion of information now available on the internet, we now have alternatives to many chemicals |
Time marches on for all of us, and time has a way of changing everything for all of us at some point in our existence upon this earth. For most, there comes a time when what we enjoy, can not be enjoyed in the same way that we once enjoyed them. This is neither good nor bad. It's simply life and life goes on. This leaves each of us with a decision to make. Do we stop living simply because 
As life and our abilities change, the Hillbilly Gardener finds ways to adapt and change with life. | we can no longer do things in the same way we once did, or do we change, improvise and adapt with our changing conditions. I, for one, do not choose to call it quits any time soon. Gardening and being outdoors are to much of an important part of my life for that and I, like so many others, thrive on finding answers to new challenges. It is in embracing and rising above life's challenges that true inner strength and resiliency develops and thrives. This, I wish to share with others for we are not one, but rather a collective group of hardy individuals pursuing a common goal and interest. In many, there is strength. I have come to enjoy the many ways that valuable information comes to me. Whether through practical experience, well written articles or life-experiences |
passed on from others, it is all good and useful. I enjoy hearing from others about their experiences and passing these valuable tips on to others. But at the same time, being a private person myself, I fully understand and deeply respect everyone's right to privacy. We are all part of the whole, but private individuals at the same time.
