My Inspiration

As I have gone through the many trials and tribulations of my life, I have always found solace in the garden. No matter how hectic the times, there is something so peaceful and serene about watching the daily developments. My directions have been many including annuals, vegetables and a plethora of perennials. The earliest adventures were in my Dad's garden where tomato plants grew into a jungle, at least 5 foot high and held up by chain link fence pieces just so they could bear the weight of the fruit. Although I have not been able to grow a plant quite so vigorous, I am willing to concede that his method of mulching with fall leaves (and lots of them) has merit. Since I have no trees in my yard, my compost comes from my handy little electric composter. It will come as no surprise to anyone who ever spent time with me and my Dad that I experience the same satisfaction in my garden that he did when tending to his garden.
