Gardening has always lived in me as a seed waiting to bloom.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That seems like something I’d like to do,” I told myself
for years. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the Spring of 2013 I had the chance to explore the
satisfaction of creating my own little garden oasis filled with care and the
benefits of attention. I scoured the Internet for information that educated me,
but also confused me. I look back on the learning curve of basic gardening and
wish I had had a resource to steer me from some of the stupid things I thought,
said and did. That’s what I hope this blog can provide to those out there with
gardening in their heart and the courage to give it a try.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I still have a long way to go, but gardening is now part of
the fabric of my being. A lifelong affair that is only now beginning to bud.<br />
