About Me
Gardening Background
- Biographical Information
- I'm an avid gardener that really got into gardening because I remember how good the fresh apricot's were which grew in my yard as a child and the unbelievable cherry's my grandma grew in Utah. I'm by no means and expert, but I thought it would be great to make a place for people to communicate and share information about gardening but in a regional way. That's how we got to this website. We've been working on it for years and it's really fun to see it start to happen. I was born in Salt Lake City Utah but I moved to coastal Southern California my whole life. I have a smallish yard with a layer of clay soil running throughout my whole backyard. I swear if I had a spinning wheel and a kiln I could throw a million clay pots!

- What do you like most about gardening?
- I really like growing fresh fruit, especially low chill berries. It's also really fun to find new and different varieties and think about where the heck I'm going to fit all the great plants of the world in my little yard.

Hi RoboticsProfessor - welcome to theMulch! I saw your question about posting photos to the forums - the basic parameters is that the photo be reduced to no larger than 800x800 and no larger than 250 kilobytes. Each forum post will only allow one photo. I hope this helps. Please let em know if I can help with anything else.
