It’s already been said that my parents had green thumbs, but
my father also had knowledge. He would talk to other gardeners or nursery
owners to glean information from them. So, if Dad was having any issues with
plants, in the car he got and went on an information finding trip.
Unfortunately nowadays we just go to the internet to get our information. Don’t
get me wrong- the internet is an excellent source. But there is no personal
relationship with the internet. There is so much more to be gained from personal
contacts and I think today’s society is missing those wonderful connections. Okay,
this is probably a better topic for my son’s blog; Christianity, politics and
controversial issues, http://controversiallibrary.blogspot.com/
so I’ll get back to gardening.

When asked how the garden did so well, my father always said
it was because he sang to the plants at night! Can’t recall him ever singing,
but he certainly whistled all the time. I think mostly it was his love of
gardening that made the garden do so well and he passed that passion onto his
wife and children.
