My exposure to horticulture began while working for a large commercial greenhouse while in high school. While in the employ of the greenhouse I was exposed to several different aspects of the trade and swore I would choose something different for a life’s occupation.
Well time passed and the next thing I knew I was staring at my BS degree in Horticulture and was off to work in the nursery trade. It was those early experiences and connection to the growing process that made an impression on me. I also recall with some fondness a vegetable garden that my family had while we were living in the Delta region of Mississippi. Plants just seemed to spontaneously fruit there. My parents allowed me to have a little patch of my own and I grew a few quick and easy veggies.
This website has been my attempt to educate myself as well as share some basic plant information over the past couple of years. I have not shared much of my experience or interest in favor of just posting about plants. While I will continue posting plant profiles I plan on developing this site further into a place to collect and share my interests in vegetable gardening and preservation as well as pruning and even raising chickens.
So expect to see a few changes in content and a more personal perspective in my writing. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and feel free to contribute to the conversation.
