 Gardening since 1985
|
I started to garden when Lisa and I got married back in 1985. She has gardened forever, having been initially inspired by her immigrant Italian grandmother's garden in Detroit. I am essentially 'labor' to Lisa's 'management.' It works well though and we have had many years of outdoor gardening enjoyment. Starting Your Garden Show together has been a great adventure and very rewarding. We have met great people and I am learning all sorts of new things about gardening.
