Really? Where did you get your passion for homesteading from? So many gardeners here were influenced by family, particularly grandparents.

Our first house, a rental had flowerbeds an$ I sort of messed around with them in ‘78 and ‘79. Then in Florida in ‘81 and ‘82 we had a house on a ranch and I planted a small garden In February.

I never had time when we built here in ‘83 as we were working full time and had 11 horses to care for. I think I had made a few flowerbeds around the house and along the fences.

After my son was born, I thought I’d like to try to have a garden and that was the start.
