I totally understand you when it comes to regulations imposed by the city - its tough to navigate. I wish that the policies would change, but we need to take it one step at a time with small efforts that we can manage such as even a small herb garden in your windowsill. I don't know if my generation will do any better, but I sure hope that awareness and my posts can get people thinking of solutions! :D Thanks for all of your support!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443365159088908865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336875063271071538.post-43141396678668411432016-06-30T17:46:46.227-07:002016-06-30T17:46:46.227-07:00Hi Ray, when we moved to Irvine I wanted to do a l...Hi Ray, when we moved to Irvine I wanted to do a lovely rock garden with less or No grass in the front but.... The homeowners would not permit it. They wanted a great percentage of lawn! I totally agree with your sentiments about a veggie garden in the back garden! I've said many times I wish I had done so! I can't eat my roses! As far as trees I have ut they are very invasive as you may know! If we had larger lots that would be fine, even though my lot is a fair size! Those ficus are vicious! To say nothing of having to keep them trimmed 3 times a year! Becomes costly. I wholeheartedly agree with you! Perhaps your generation will do better than we did! Love reading your sentiments about a BETTER way of taking care. Of our planet! Keep it up!Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892836373213818043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336875063271071538.post-41855253061611523312016-04-03T12:20:52.256-07:002016-04-03T12:20:52.256-07:00Nithin, thanks for the comment.

I appreciate your suggestion, but this article wasn't necessarily about me or someone else but more in general towards our whole generation. I hope more people will start looking at each person individually instead of grouping them together as "irresponsible youth".

I suggest you speak to the person you could understand the risk is this situation and is still willing to take a chance (owner of the property,company) and am sure looking at your credentials he might change his mind about the youth and give you a chance...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436517887028354540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336875063271071538.post-45415436170787032452016-04-03T10:39:28.344-07:002016-04-03T10:39:28.344-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436517887028354540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336875063271071538.post-77529371688591445232016-02-13T12:02:57.881-08:002016-02-13T12:02:57.881-08:00Hello Krystal,
Thank you so much for your inter...Hello Krystal, <br /><br />Thank you so much for your interest. I was casting on until the sticks wouldn't let any further stitches on honestly. I have a feeling there were over 100 stitches. I was just doing the knitted stitch as I don't know much about kitting. For the handle I cast on about 6 stitches. On the sides I was just weaving the plastic thread with my fingers through the holes to "sew" it together. Although I knitted mine I suggest to others to crochet theirs as it is easier (I just didn't know how to at the time). If you want more information please watch the youtube video I attached to this blog post as it is more detailed. Good luck on your bag-bag!
