I’ve been digging in the dirt since I was old enough to reach the garden hose, thanks to my grandpa’s endless patience and my mom’s insistence that I ‘stop tracking mud inside.’ There’s nothing like the quiet satisfaction of watching something you planted finally bloom—or the lessons learned when it doesn’t.
This site is my way of paying forward all those early mistakes and hard-won tips, so you can skip the trial and error (or at least laugh at it with me).
