Hello, I love you. I just wanted to tell you that first. My name is Pamela. I was born and raised in the coal mines of Pennsylvania where I helped my father grow his tomato plants so high we couldn’t see out the kitchen window in the summer. I then moved to Pittsburgh, PA to attend art school much to the confusion of all my family. There I met a boy named Matthew who wore tall striped socks and had matching neon blue hair as me, so I fell in love with him. We moved in together quickly and he brought his childhood cat Essy along. I also fell in love with Essy. Shortly after finishing school, we packed up all our belongings in a U-Haul and moved from one city to the city; New York City. We moved to Brooklyn in 2005 and we have lived here since. A year after we moved to New York, we got another cat, Xanadu. Then a few years later we got another cat, FiFi Bofinkles. Then a few days later we got our fourth cat, Brother Bear. I’m dearly in love with our furry critter babies. You can find me usually on the floor talking to them in baby voices or dancing with them in my arms while kissing them. If I’m at a friend’s house you can can probably find me on their floor talking to their cat in baby voices. I love cats. I really love all animals. Animal documentaries make me cry, nature is brutal – why can’t everyone get along? Essy, Xanadu, FiFi Bofinkles, Brother meowzas Update: Our beloved Essy died in January 2014. She was the love of our lives. We’ll always remember her as the Queen of our home and hearts. I made a long post dedicated to her. Update: In March 2014 we added a kitten to the family. His name is Goblin and he is crazy. 6tag_190514-140915 Here is our kitty family. They want soft food here. They always want soft food. 6tag_050614-114446 Every summer Matthew and I talked about gardening memories that we both experienced. We had no back yard, we had no soil to dig into, so we thought – what if we make a garden many stories up on our roof? It started small, just a few containers, then every year later it continues to expand. Today’s garden remains on our rooftop that many people refer to as a mini farm due to the numerous crops we grow. We grow broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, beans, sugar snap peas, potatoes, pumpkins, watermelon, kale, strawberries, onions, carrots, sprouts, lettuce, soy beans, corn, cucumbers and more. We happily spend many hours there every single week during the growing season getting our hands (and nails) dirty. weekly harvest with cats 7211846854_5b966ee39d_z 20140709_001547000_iOS So that’s how Brooklyn Farm Girl began. I wanted to share with others my experience of living in a big city but has that itch sometimes for a small town life.

We are season ticket holders for the Brooklyn Nets. I plan for tomato harvests and spend all day in the kitchen making sauces to last all year long. Mayo really grosses me out. I sing and dance to our plants, I feel like it makes them happier. 6tag_050614-184158 The garden at sunset makes me a happy girl. I love flashy sneakers, cat print clothes and smiley faces on sweaters. Sometime I wear them all at the same time. WP_20130506_07620130506234711.jpg I love snowmen.

I love farms. I will help you on your farm if you ask me, but only if you let me talk to every single one of your animals. I will love them all dearly. 4933106817_187ccf86f1_z No seriously, I will love all your animals. You will have to pull me away from them. 14439361136_573901ee6f_z Don’t let me around holiday themed Oreo Cookies.
