Biographical Information:	I started gardening in spring 2008 in a tiny rented garden. The following winter, the yard flooded so badly that most of it was underwater for a full month. Since then, I've been working on improving the drainage and finding plants that can tolerate the conditions.
What do you like most about gardening?:	native plants
What do you dislike most about gardening?:	weeds! (especially bermuda grass)
Gardening Dilemmas:	My gardening interests lean primarily to shrubs and trees, but the yard is too small for pretty much all trees and too small for the number of shrubs I'd like to plant. I always want to squeeze in another shrub where there isn't really room.
What individual has influenced your gardening interest the most? How?:	Bert Wilson of Las Pilitas Nursery - my first efforts to learn about gardening consisted of memorizing the Las Pilitas Nursery website.

What is your favorite color in the garden?:	purple
If you could grow only one plant, what would it be?:	Cercis occidentalis

Do you have a gardening philosophy you would like to share with other gardeners? What is it?:	Plan for no maintenance. Discover the existence of monster weeds. Accept that the plan was unrealistic.
What is a garden myth you hear frequently which you know is untrue?:	Till!
And, what is the reality?:	Don't till!
What is your Garden Test Score?:	6-10 Good Start
Take the Garden Personality Test!:	Take the Mulch Garden Test here!
