(A Blog! How Fresh huh?l! Hee Hee!) 

 I will be posting ideas, techniques, thoughts, stories and other realated info you might find helpful on your own path to a greener thumb.
But to start ;  Soap box please....thank you....ahem -

My personal belief is the more gardeners in this country, the better!!! 
You might find that counter intuitive since I do make a living doing garden work for people.....but the big picture is more important to me in the long run. Besides, gardens are ever changing living things and as you know, if you do get your nails dirty, is that it's a job that never ends.

 If you think about it we pretty much ALL used to know how to grow something. Our culture as humans had one of it first major leaps because we  figured out what we could grow to eat which allowed us to set up shop and  stay in the same place. Most of us did just about that until really not that long ago.
 Many of us have a story in our families about Grandma's huge tomatos and her sauce she made from them or Great Grandpa's apple tree........Or maybe the farm they used to own. In just a few generations a huge amount of us have become totally disconnected to the land, our food, where it all comes from and at what cost it gets to our tables.....and even to what is going on with in the boundries of our own small kingdoms, the American back yard.  I really truly want to help.

People say get a job that your passionate about and you'll never work a day in your life. It's true to a certain extent. 
(you may even like it enough you feel like writing about it in your spare time)
 My true passion though is to try to sway more of us to the Force and away from the Dark Side. (No more chemical dumps in  your gardens people, Please!)  

I tell ya, just while writing this first post I have jotted down at least 10 ideas for other topics I would like to share in the future.... Stay tuned.
