My family can’t understand why I garden. I hunt, fish, waterski, lift weights,etc. But nothing is more enjoyable to me than gardening. It’s my way of nurturing and growing, both internally and externally. The more care and attention I put into my garden the more it returns to me. That’s why I garden

Welcome, Jaybe. “It makes us one with nature” is exactly what I think, too. Thanks for saying that. See you soon again, I hope.

I garden to to create life, beauty, fragrence and bounty. . . The cool soil that sifts between my fingers as I plant a seed evokes so many memories of helping my Daddy as he gardened for our family over fifty years ago. It gives me opportunity to feel the worn oak handle of a hoe in my hand and use the same metal watering can he used when I was a kid. It always continues to amaze me and flood me with pride when my plants produce a fruit that I will care for an nuture. It makes us one with nature.
