can't eat all this romaine before it bolts!

Name Elizabeth Weitzel
Birthday April 30, 1982
Gender Female
Family Still growing. We married in 2006, and currently our home is taken over by our three "children", Moose, Greyson (Felis Catus) and the youngest, Ginger (Canis Lupus). We're happy taking the time to experiment with our little homestead before we decide to add human children to the mix.
About Me I recently graduated, and am happy to finally have some time to play in the garden and garage!
My first passion is building and repairing things around the home. Since I was little my parents taught me how to do any home repair, build barns, tables, lay brick etc. Then I discovered a strong affinity towards cars. I worked for 4 years in the plug-in hybrid research center under Dr. Andrew Frank, building PHEV's from the ground up, spending most of my time in the machine shop. Now i've graduated and am working a regular desk job, which frees up my energy to work in the yard when I get home. :-)
